Dodo Mayana, one of the popular dancers of late afro beat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, is dead.
Mayana was said to have either been knocked down by a hit and run driver in Lagos or mugged to death.
Fela’s son, Femi Kuti, disclosed this on his Twitter handle.
Femi, however, believes more she could have been attacked and dumped at the spot where she was found at Grammar School Bus Stop in Omole area of Lagos State rather than the theory of the hit and run driver.
He said this was because nothing was found on her.
She was said to be on her way home from the African Shrine, where she runs a shop.
The opened the shop after she quit dancing.
After working with Fela until his death, Mayana declared loyalty for Femi and became one of his cage dancers.
On retirement, she took to selling drinks at the African Shrine, which is in Alausa area of Ikeja, Lagos State.
Femi 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.”
