Hillary Vincent, the project manager of popular gospel
singer, Sammie Okposo, has denied the viral reports that the singer slumped in
his Lekki, Lagos, residence on Friday morning, November 25, 2022.
Many media outlets reported that after he allegedly slumped,
he was rushed to the hospital, and was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, in an interview with Sunday Scoop, Vincent said,
“It is not true that Sammie slumped and died. That report is false. At the
right time, the family will set the records straight. But, I can tell you
authoritatively that he did not slump. Rather, he just did not wake up from his
sleep.
“As regards the funeral arrangements, the details will be
made known by the family. But right now, they are still in grief and mourning
the departed singer.
The singer was best known for songs such as Welu Welu, which
was on his first album, Unconditional Love.
Na only You was another popular song which was contained in
the album No More Drama. The album featured other gospel singers such as Kefee,
Essence, Ige Samsong and Soji Isreal.
Another of his songs, Sing Hallelujah, was released in 2019,
but it has continued to make waves, especially in gospel circles.
In 2020, he released Chukwu Ebube, a contemporary
afrocentric worship that featured Micheal Stuckey.
Shortly before his death, he had held the Sammie Okposo
Praise Party in Lagos on November 4, 2022. A day before his death, he had
posted a throwback video of the concert on his Instagram page. In the video, he
could be seen leading the congregation in an intense praise and worship
session.
Meanwhile, tributes have not stopped pouring in for the
singer. A veteran actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, posted a video of both of them
together. He added the caption, “This was exactly a month ago in the US. We
spent two weeks together and fellowshipped as men. Ate, drank and, as I’m known
to do, teased you. Toks or Jedi, would drive you to me and we would spend the
entire day together.’’
