Following the death of Sammie Okposo on Friday, November 25, 2022, his family has released an official statement to confirm it.
The award-winning gospel artiste, aged 51, reportedly slumped and died in the morning.
The statement, signed by a family member, Hector Okposo, read: “It is with a heavy heart but total submission to God that I announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, minister of God, Sammie Okposo.
“Sammie slept and went to be with the Lordin 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 angels. We kindly request that the family is allowed to grieve peacefully at this time.”
The deceased had made headlines recently when he publicly apologized to his wife, Ozioma, for cheating on her with another lady in the United States.
He thereafter made the decision to take time off from ministration to retrace his step with God, before returning to ministry after a few months.
