Events before DJ Arafat death
Videos of events that occurred before the accident have already filled the social sites. One, in particular, shows him performing stunts on his motorbike. The video was posted just a few hours later after his death.
In another video, the Ivorian star can be seen though not clearly, speeding on the road only to hit a car that had just joined the main highway. From this CCTV video, it can be deduced that DJ Arafat was highly speeding.
DJ Arafat lay lifeless on the ground after the accident. The impact was so intense to the point that the superbike was destroyed to near completion. The bike was torn into pieces, and one could imagine the state of the rider by the debris left after the fatal accident.

Condolence messages
Heartfelt condolences have been sent out to bereave the family of the late DJ Arafat. Several high profile figures have sent their messages on social sites as a sign of mourning the Ivorian star. They include President Alassane Ouattara, Defense Minister Hamed Babayoko, Didier Drogba, Burna boy, Diamond Platnumz, Majid MichelAsamoah Gyan, and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Several people are blaming Denise for causing the accident, but if properly investigated, the real culprit in this situation is DJ Arafat. If the bike were ridden at a reasonable speed then, he would have been able to brake and avoid the car or rather safely navigate to a different lane.
