However, 12 years after his death, Dagrin has hit the news again. He has just been declared wanted by the Sierra Leonean police. It’s worthy to note that before his death, he never set foot in Sierra Leone. How did this mix-up happen?

According to a twitter user @Jeen_Yous, after a violent protest erupted last week, the Sierra Loenean police released pictures of people wanted for inciting the violence. A picture of Dagrin brandishing a gun was spotted among them.

Nigerians are now calling for the police to rectify their mistake.
