Popular gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, has died at the age of 51.
The popular singer reportedly slumped and gave up the ghost on Friday morning.
His family, via a terse statement, signed by Hector Okposo, confirmed the singer’s demise and also requested privacy while they mourn their loss.
The statement reads: “It is with a heavy heart but with total submission to God that I announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, Minister of God, Sammie Okposo.
“Sammy slept and went to be with the Lord on the morning of Friday November 25, 2022.
“More details about the burial will be communicated soon.
“We are consoled because we know that he is with Jesus singing with the angels😇.
“We kindly request that the family is allowed to grieve peacefully at this time.”
The late gospel singer made the headlines months ago after he admitted cheating on his wife with another woman when he travelled to the United States in 2011.
He had, in a lengthy Instagram post, urged Nigerians to pray for him and suspended himself from all ministry work until full restoration as he sought forgiveness from God.
