A popular dancer, who danced for late Fela Kuti and retired to dancing for Femi Kuti when his father passed on, has died. Popularly called Dodo Mayana, the lady died while returning home from the Afrika Shrine in a questionable manner. Femi said;



“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.”

Late Dodo had earlier retired from also dancing with Femi and had started selling drinks at the Shrine, but she remained a key figure.
