Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, is dead

Popular Nigerian gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, is dead.

It was gathered that Okposo slumped and died at the age of 51 in the early hours of Friday.

The demise of the popular singer comes some hours after he posted a throwback photo of Sammie Okposo Praise Party on his verified Instagram page.

Okposo, fondly called Wellu Wellu master, in January, this year, confessed and publicly apologised for cheating on his wife, Ozioma, with a United States-based lady.

It would be recalled that a lady, identified as African Doll, disclosed that she was pregnant for Okposo, adding that the gospel singer asked her to terminate it.

The singer thereafter publicly apologised to his wife and family for having an affair with a US-based lady.

Okposo’s apology, however, received wide condemnations for cheating outside his marriage as a man of God.

His name was later removed from the list of artistes to participate at the music concert organised by the Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja following the adultery scandal.

The famous singer was born on May 30, 1971.

He was also a music producer, Psalmist, and CEO of Zamar Entertainment.

Okposo released his first album, ‘Addicted’, in 2004.
