How Did Ayinla Omowura Really Die? by BizLifeE: 6:13am On Apr 29, 2017
I was only a child when Ayinla Omowura died. He was one of the most popular Apala musician of the 1970s.

Now fast-forward to many years later, we have been hearing various stories of how he died. There’s no official reason for his death. Official documents simply said he died.

Whereas mouth-to-mouth reports reveal that Omowura was trying to retrieve a motorcycle he bought for one of the band members, called Fatai Bayewu, following differences between them. The singer trailed Bayewu to a beer parlour in Ago-Oba area of Abeokuta, to retrieve the motorcycle. A fight ensued between them, and in the process, Baiyewu was alleged to have smashed a thick glass cup on Omowura’s head, who slumped and died thereafter.

Another sources say that Omowura was always loaded with charms, especially as a means of spiritual self-defense. He had a ring on one of his fingers, which must not be used to beat anyone; or else the person would die. When he was quarrelling with that Fatai Bayewumi, his erstwhile band manager, Bayewumi challenged him verbally. Omowura was greatly offended and he beat his own chest in an act of annoyance, saying: “Iyen emi naa?” (meaning “You dare me?). He had forgotten that there was a ring on one of his own fingers that must not be used to beat/hit anyone. He fell down and his tongue protruded. He died.

Which account is true? The first one or the second one? The accounts were given by old people who were Ayinla Omowura’s contemporaries. Which one should we believe?

How did Ayinla Omowura really die?

Another account has it that he drove the lorry that smashed Segun Awolowo to death. On his way to court to defend his father Obafemi Awolowo. If true he is despicable .. hideous.. but certainly he was a thug..Even in the Op's description.
@ Op was he your grandfather? Before I say more...

This is how I believed Ayinla Omowura died.

Yesterday I was playing one of his song on my phone (Omo Araye) around somewhere in Osun State.

I was actually in the midst of elders while the song was playing from my phone., While we were entertaining ourselves with the track the elders started talking about what they knew about him, his relation with Ayinde Barrister, the year that track was released, how they use to dance along while it's playing and a lot of memories they could remember.

As the youngest among them, I was very curious and I asked them politely ''Pls How did Ayinla Omowura really died? Who or what killed him? ''' and an old woman among the elders answered and said.

Ayinla Omowura was murdered in a Beer Parlour, that he was killed by a man after hitting him on the head with a bottle of beer , another elderly Man also added that Ayinla Omowura used to wear a ring on one finger on his right hand and that the ring mustn't get to touch blood that after he was hit by the bottle of beer he placed his hand on the spot where he was bleeding and he was wearing the ring on that very day.

So this is how I'm convinced that he died.

@ BizLifeE , micheal5772 and others, he was actually murdered by bayewumi. The cause of the death according to autopsy was certified to be cerebral shock resulting from a fracture of the skull associated with a contortion of the brain as well as well as large intracranial haemorrhage consistent with the deceased having been struck on the head with a heavy object.

Baiyewunmi was arrested and charged with the murder of Mr. Waidi Ayinla contrary to section 254(2) of the Criminal Code. The trial judge was Mr. Justice Owolabi Kolawole of the Ogun State High Court (later OFR and later, Justice of Court of Appeal). Bayewumi was sentenced for murder and was killed by hanging in the mid 80s.

Ayinla omowura's death taught others who are coming behind to take life slowly, learn to forgive and allow things slide.

According to report in circulation incosistent with his recent song, he has a spiritualist whom he called the saviour of everybody, the man told him he may likely die in 1980 and he should be very careful and avoid engaging in dangerous activities throughout the year 1980, report claim he obey and refused to honor many show and stage performance because he believed any incident that will claim his life may likely happen in live show due to their violent nature.

If you listen carefully to the two album he released in 1980, it was filled with fear of death over him and his band members.

That is the little I know about him, I may be wrong but this is easiest reasonably info I was able to gather. Maybe somebody can dig further to get the case file and the exact year Bayewumi was hanged.

Did you know: His real surname was not Omowura. His mother was called Wura so one of the band drummers named him Omo Wura and it stuck.

Actually the drummer who gave him the name Omo Wura was the real leader of the band. Ayinla was just the ceremonial head because he had a good voice

Ayinla also had a quarrel with Sikiru Ayinde Barrister because he once visited Barrister's house in Lagos and he was asked to fill a form before seeing Barrister so he got angry and stormed out

The story that a bottle was broken on his head during a scuffle was confirmed by his band leader. That's the actual cause of his death.

Oladipo Diya who was the then military governor of Ogun State signed the execution order of Baiyewu (the killer)

During a practice session Ayinla had predicted that Baiyewu will be his killer but Baiyewu rejected the prediction but it eventually came to pass cry

This is the true account cos I'm sure the movie producers must have done their homework regarding the true story.

Funny enough i was just searching for the root cause of the rift between him. N his manager online when Google pointed me to this thread.

FEAR WOMEN O. It was actually a lady that caused the rift between him n his manager that culminated to his death.

It wasn't a lady oh. Ayinla bought a motorcycle for Baiyewu and wanted to retrieve it back from him after they had a quarrel. Baiyewu didn't want to hand back the motorcycle and this led to a scuffle

Baiyewu left the band because Ayinla snatched his girlfriend.

I just finished watching the movie
as confirmed by the old man that bath his dead body in the movie prologue he was truly murdered with a mug broken into his head
listening to his music now I realized why our new music doesn't sit well with the old... I mean those music were so real and alive
the kind of music we have today seems too fake maybe due to the excessive beat and mastering unlike then when it was pure live band

Ayinla Omowura's Apala music feels alive in our contemporary time, and these are songs in the 1980's.
