His statement reads,
Roco {Ja rule} is my brother and friend since our university days. His dreams was to be successful in life through his music. After our graduation, Roco went to Portharcourt in search of his family’s betterment.
He returned to music three years ago and later we recorded a song which he featured me in his 1st single called “ONYE NA WAY YA”.
Last week Roco returned home from Porth Harcourt and said he was going to shoot the video of that our song by tomorrow being Monday.
This afternoon the Nigerian army killed my homie Roco in his home town Orlu. Roco believes in Nigeria so much and today Nigeria has failed my friend. It’s hard to believe this.
