We regret to announce the passing of our son, friend, partner and brother Mr. Olaitan Oladapo Olaonipekun A.K.A. Dagrin.
He died at 6:00pm on Thursday April 22 – exactly eight days after he was involved in a ghastly accident in front of Alakara Police station, off Agege motor road, Mushin, Lagos.
He survived a serious head injury, as a result of the crash.
He was initially admitted at Tai Solarin Hospital, Baba Olosha Bus stop, Mushin before he was transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi Araba where Doctors made serious efforts to save his life. He was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit and operated upon, and later moved to the private wing of the hospital.
Doctors worked day and night; we fasted and prayed, but all efforts to save his life proved abortive. We lost him on Thursday April 22, 2010 at 6:00PM.
Dagrin, 26, was a recording artiste, songwriter, rapper and performer. He was signed to his own label Missofunyin Entertainment and managed by Edlyne Records.
Burial arrangements will be announced by his family soonest.
While we pray the Almighty God grant him eternal rest, we wish to thank his numerous fans and supporters, as well as the media for their unflinching support at this trying period.
We ask that you please continue to pray for his family, especially his parents and siblings. And please only the details contained in this release –jointly issued by his parents and management - should be considered as fact.

On behalf of the family

ReplyDeleteThe picture at the hospital bed baffles me,some1 is in that critical condition and there was no life support machines on him,if he had survived 8 days then he sholud survive,blame it all on nigeria government,lack of infasrtuctures and morden medical equipment.UK is always my best in terms of medical care.DAgrin wake up plsssssss....
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in perfect peace.
ReplyDeleteHow come nobody is talking about the fact that he was intoxicated/drunk. Lesson learned, don't drive under influence, good thing he didn't kill any innocent life.
ReplyDeleteYou and your career were both too young to die
