Tope Olukole, Personal Assistant to the Juju music legend, Ebenezer Obey has described the rumor of his principal’s death as false and fabricated.
TheNewsGuru reports that the renowned Gospel singer was reported to have died on Monday after falling ill briefly over the weekend.
The legend’s aide refuted the rumor on Monday evening saying, “Let’s set the record straight: Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi is alive and thriving! He recently celebrated a joyous occasion – the 50th birthday of his second child’s spouse.
“Rumors of his passing are baseless and entirely unfounded. We’re glad to see him active and well. Tope Olukole,” he said.
In response to the rumor, Obey-Fabiyi also in a video on Tuesday morning refuted the claim with a spirited performance.
Singing in Yoruba, English and Pidgin, he described the news as false.
In the video, Obey-Fabiyi sang, “Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi. Satan, you don lose o, Satan, you don lose o, you don pafuka. Na lie lie you dey talk, you don pafuka.”
The legendary musician, then added, “It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory. It is a lie. I am alive, and that is not the word Jesus has written.”
