The singer will be buried at a private ceremony on December 16.
After coming to the limelight for his music, Sammie Okposo established himself as an international gospel artiste.
He was also a music producer, psalmist, and CEO of Zamar Entertainment.
The singer released his first album ‘Addicted’ in 2004. He collaborated with many other artistes in the gospel and soul genres.
Okposo’s most recent album ‘The Statement’ (2018) was produced by the Grammy-winning Kevin Bond.
On Okposo’s passing, his family said: “We are consoled because we know that he is with Jesus singing with angels.
“We kindly request that the family is allowed to grieve peacefully at this time.”
