According to them, the burial arrangement will be announced in the coming days.
Meanwhile, signing the condolence register at the late singer’s home KSA, who was overwhelmed by emotion, wrote ” Dear sister and colleague, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Your fans and friends all over the world will remember you forever “
Others in the delegation include the flutist, Tee Mac, who promised to perform at the service of songs of the late singer, Kenny Ogugbe, King Sunny Ade and Mayo Ayilaran, General Manager of MCSN among others.v
