Ebenezer Obey, the legendary Nigerian singer, has dismissed renewed rumours claiming he had passed away.
Rumours had circulated online alleging the 83-year-old singer died after suffering a stroke.
However, in a video shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, Obey was seen very much alive, singing ‘I Have A God Who Never Fails’ alongside his two sons.
He described the reports as “lies from the kingdom of darkness” and “the intention of the enemy”. He confirmed that he is alive, did not suffer a stroke, and is in good health.
“People of God, ladies and gentlemen, the enemies have come again. I left Lagos this morning for London, and I arrived in London a few hours ago. On arrival, I saw the video that announced again that my ‘enemy’ was dead, my enemy had a stroke and all the lies they are speaking,” he said.
“They even carried coffins and showed several photographs. Everything they have said is nothing but lies. It is the intention of the enemy, and I know that would never ever come to pass. My God is indeed in control. I left Lagos with my children.
“Everything they have said is nothing but lies that came from the kingdom of darkness. I am alive, I am alive, says the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much. I don’t have a stroke. I came to London to look after myself.”
This is not the first time Obey has had to dispel such rumours. In 2020 and again in April of this year, he denied similar false claims about his death.
