Renowned Nigerian Juju artiste, Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi, aka Ebenezer Obey, has ridiculed the rumours making the rounds that he is dead
The 83 years old Juju legend said that he is alive, hale, and healthy.
Obey-Fabiyi responded to the claim in a video posted Tuesday morning.
He sang in Yoruba, English, and Pidgin, describing the news as fake.
In the video, Obey-Fabiyi sang, “Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi.
“Satan, you don lose o, Satan, you don lose o, you don pafuka. Na lie lie you dey talk, you don pafuka.”
He added, “It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory. It is a lie. I am alive, and that is not the word Jesus has written.”
The rumour of his death went viral on Monday, sparking mourning messages from his fans.
However, his personal assistant, Tope Olukole, has also refuted the claim.
“Let’s set the record straight: Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi is alive and thriving! He recently celebrated a joyous occasion – the 50th birthday of his second child’s spouse.
“Rumours of his passing are baseless and entirely unfounded. We’re glad to see him active and well. Tope Olukole,”
