MY LAST MOMENT 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.
