It’s a sad day in Davido’s camp as one of his aides and trusted image personality, Fortune Ateunmunname known as Fortune Photography died earlier today.
His death came after he was invited to a video
shoot location at a private beach In Tarkwabay for a video shoot where he was
supposed to take the footage from the shoot. On their way to the shoot, the
boat conveying him and the rest crew capsized.
According to a close source who spoke with Zebra
News, “it was a location for a video shoot and they were already in high spirit
before the boat they rented to convey them capsized due to the waves on the
sea.”
Fortune should have survived like many people did
on the boat but he was not wearing a live jacket that’s why he drowned when the
boat capsized. Before the rescue team arrived at the scene, he has drowned
drinking lots of water”. It was a scary scene as his death is on the list of
those around Davido who has lost their lives in the past 4 years.
“It’s a shocking situation coming after the 30BG
crew are yet to recover from Obama 44’s death few months ago. We pray and
comfort with his family because he is the breadwinner of his family and he is a
jolly good fellow.” the source further added.
He died three months after the hit maker’s close friend and
associate, Habeeb Ademola Uthman aka as Obama DMW passed on.
