It was three days ago that Darryl Dmello's family and friends in Mumbai were informed about his death in Lagos, Nigeria. Darryl, 29, popularly known as DJ Driggy Dro, was a well-known DJ who performed at clubs like Raasta and Bombay Bronx in Mumbai. He had moved to Lagos three months ago and was working at an Indian restaurant called Rangla Punjab. After his parents couldn't reach either his phone or the restaurant, his friend and fellow DJ, Conrad Fernandes, decided to step in and figure out what had happened.

"I used to work at Hard Rock Lagos for three years. So, I called the HR head there who is a good friend, and she drove down to the restaurant. When she reached there, she saw a sign that said that the restaurant was shut. But her husband is a cop, and when he put some pressure, they were told that the authorities were waiting for the post-mortem to release information," Fernandes told us, saying that in his experience things work slowly in Lagos. "Especially since it's festive season."
