The funeral arrangements for gospel singer, Sammie Okposo,
have been released by his family.
Recall that the singer died on November 25, 2022 at the age
of 51.
A tribute night will be held for him on Tuesday, December 13
in Lagos State, followed by a service of songs on Wednesday.
The funeral service for Okposo will take place on December
15 and will be private affair.
In an exclusive interview with The PUNCH on November 27,
Okposo’s manager, Hillary Vincent, revealed that the singer died in his sleep
as against earlier speculations that he slumped.
Vincent had 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.”
Sammie Okposo started his music career as a soundtrack
producer for Nollywood in 1992. He was well-known at that time in the small
circle of Nollywood actors and producers.
He later began to get more career flashpoints when he
started the Sammie Okposo Praise Party, a platform that brought many
up-and-coming Nigerian gospel artistes into the scene.
The Niger Delta-born music star was known for emboldening
the gospel music scene by taking his music away from the quiet confines of the
church.
He released his first album Unconditional Love in 2000.
