He was rescued by policemen on patrol who called his manager after finding his number on Dagrin’s last dialed list.
The late hip-hop star was rushed to Tai Solarin private hospital in Mushin before he was moved to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH.
He died days later at LUTH from complications arising from injuries he sustained.
