My last moments with Taiwo Oshadipe, by her manager

One of the Oshadipe Twins, Taiwo, died in the early hours of

Friday October 3rd. Her manager, Olu Akinsanya, speaking

for the first time about her sudden death, said she might

have died of complications arising from chest-related

pains.

Speaking exclusively to The Nation , Olu said she was ill

about a month ago and was admitted at the Lagos State

University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, and was given some

medications.

“The illness wasn’t serious. She felt better when she

started taking the drugs. But surprisingly, she

suffered a relapse this week. On Wednesday, she

called her doctor who treated her at LASUTH and was

told to come over to his private hospital, as he

wouldn’t be around at LASUTH until Friday. She went

to the hospital where the doctor carried out some

medical checks on her and gave her some drugs. He

also gave her an appointment for Friday. But

unfortunately, in the early hours of the day, she

started complaining of pains.

This time, it was very severe; so, her twin sister,

Kehinde, decided to rush her to LASUTH. However,

upon reaching the hospital, she was confirmed dead.

So, by 8.00a.m., Kehinde called me and I had to rush

to LASUTH to see her for myself.

“It is still very shocking to me. I saw her on

Wednesday and we talked and joked. We even talked

about my forthcoming wedding. She promised to play

at my wedding, so she asked me not to invite any

other musician. The autopsy report will be out soon.

But I know she had recovered from the illness. The

last thing she complained about was the chest pain

and that was what led to her death two days after
