Award winning Nigerian Gospel Music Sensation, Sammie Okposo, is dead. He died on Friday morning, at the age of 51.
His project manager, Hillary Vincent, confirmed the news.
Details of his death are still sketchy as at the time of filling this report. Insides sources have said that Sammie Okposo slumped few weeks ago.
Since the scandal he was involved in, the musician had been off the social radar, avoided friends and gone into seclusion.
The Wellu Wellu master, as he was fondly called, was an internationally-recignised music producer, psalmist, and CEO of Zamar Entertainment.
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.
