Sammie Okposo, a gospel artist, passed away, and his family has announced the details of his funeral.
According to BLINKSCOOP, the singer passed away on November 25, 2022, at the age of 51.
On Tuesday, December 13, a celebration of his life will be held in Lagos State, and on Wednesday, a musical service will be performed in his honor.
Okposo’s funeral will be held privately on December 15 and will start in private time.
In contrast to initial claims that the singer collapsed, Okposo’s manager, Hillary Vincent, confirmed that the artist passed away in his sleep.
It’s not true Sammie slumped and died, Vincent had added. That story is untrue. The family will clarify the facts when the time is appropriate. However, I can state with authority that he did not sag. He simply did not awaken from his slumber, instead.
In 1992, Sammie Okposo began making music as a soundtrack producer for Nollywood films. He was well-known in the limited group of Nollywood performers and producers at the time.
When he founded the Sammie Okposo Praise Party, a venue that allowed many upcoming Nigerian gospel musicians to get into the scene, he later started to receive additional career flashpoints.
The Niger Delta-born musician gained notoriety for energizing the gospel music market by removing his music from the reverent setting of churches.
In 2000, he issued his debut record, Unconditional Love.
