Word is, they did it because Adawale requested to be written out of the show. It's not entirely clear why, but the blogosphere notes that both of his parents died within the last six months, and he may be wanting to spend more time with his family.
Evidently it was a surprise to the producers, but they did their best with it--and actually used it to resurrect one of the show's original boogeymen, the smoke monster. New theory: Smokey uses hallucinations to lure in its prey?
