Gospel singer Sammie Okposo has died.
Details of the unfortunate incident are still sketchy but it was gathered that the singer died on Friday morning after he slumped. He was rushed to a hospital in Lekki where he was confirmed dead.
The singer was slated to minister, alongside other gospel singers, Eben, Chuks Praise, Joy Favour and Victor Edet at the Outpouring Assembly International in Calabar on Friday, November 25 to 27.
He, unfortunately, died hours before the event.
