PRESS RELEASE: CRAN CONDOLES FAMILY OVER FATAI ROLLING DOLLAR’S DEATH

FATAI ROLLING DOLLARS

The officials and members of the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN), led by its President, Christopher Orji of Sun Newspapers, wish to commiserate with family, friends and the Nigerian musical entertainment industry over the death of the Octogenarian musician, Fatai Rolling Dollar, whose sad event happened today June 12, 2013.

CRAN cherished the relationship between it and the musician while he was alive. We remember his live performance free of charge at the 2012 CRAN Lecture and Award ceremony at the LTV 8 Multi-purpose Hall, Ikeja. His presence added colour to the ceremony.

In Nigeria entertainment, Fatai Rolling Dollar made significant impact. Even in the advertising world, his voice and popular track, ``wonkeresi-nobawa’’ was a household song. In his humility, he collaborated some young musicians, who wanted his golden voice in their songs

``We would miss his lovely voice, his stage performance, his dark eye glasses and cap to match. We pray that God will grant the family, friends and the Nigerian Musical industry the fortitude to bear the irreparable lost.

Signed

Moses Omorogieva

CRAN Secretary
