A popular Nigerian gospel singer, Sammie Okposo is dead, NewsSpecng learnt.

The 51-year-old artist reportedly slumped and died on Friday morning. 

Meanwhile, details of what led to his death are yet to be known. 

The Wellu Wellu master, as he is fondly called,  was also a music producer, psalmist, and CEO of Zamar Entertainment.

He released his first album Addicted in 2004.

He bagged multiple awards including KORA Best Gospel Artiste in Africa (2006), Crown SABC Best of African Gospel (2014), Afro Hollywood UK Best Gospel Artiste (2005), NEA Best Gospel Artiste of the Year (2007&2013), and NMA Best Contemporary Gospel Artiste among others.

Early this year, the late singer was in the public eyes for the wrong reason as he offered a public apology to his wife, Ozioma for alleged infidelity.

The apology came a day after a lady, known only as African Doll, accused him of impregnating and abandoning her.

The gospel musician told his fans that he would be taking a step back from his ministry to focus on restoration and seek forgiveness.

In the heat of the public conversation on the alleged infidelity, he removed himself from public spaces by deactivating his social media platforms but returned later.
