Popular Fela Kuti dancer murdered in Lagos
Fela Anikulapo-Kut
Femi Kuti is currently in a sober
mood as he mourns the death of a dancer in his father’s band, Dodo Mayana. Dodo
as she was fondly called, was a popular woman at the Afrika Shrine and was one of
Fela’s dancers until his death in 19974.
She later joined Femi Kuti’s band as
a cage dancer before she retired and started selling drinks at the Afrika
Shrine. According to a series of tweets from Femi, the dancer was knocked down
by a hit and run driver.
Femi said she died a questionable
death. He tweeted, “Heard that Dodo who sells outside the Shrine was hit by a
car on her way home by Grammar sch. opposite Omole Estate. I’m so sad. Sounds
more like Dodo was mugged ‘cos when we got to her, nothing was found on her, no
money, no phone. Mehn sad sad sad.
“Dodo was such a nice and friendly
person RIP. May those who did this not go free. Unfortunately, our police might
never find them. She was mugged they now say most likely she took first chance,
killed, dumped by Grammar sch.”
