Family announces funeral plans for Aduke Gold

Gospel singer Aduke Gold

Pastor Ajayi Aderogbo, the stepbrother of gospel singer Aduke Ajayi, widely known as Aduke Gold, has revealed details of her funeral arrangements.

A clip from an interview with Gbeborun9ja shared on Instagram on Wednesday reveals Pastor Aderogbo discussing his close relationship with the late singer.

“I’m her elder brother and like a father to her because we share the same father but have different mothers. I began taking care of her in 1993 after the death of our father,” he said.

He went on to share the family’s plans for her burial, saying, “We held a family meeting and decided that the burial would take place on the 23rd of August, with several outlined programmes. On the 21st, there will be a candlelight vigil.”

Aduke was born in 1990 in Ilesha, Osun State.

When she began her music career, many called her Aduke Penkele because of how slim she was.

She earned a degree in history and international relations from Lagos State University, higher degree in child psychology, diploma in montessori education among others.
