After the coffin was lowered into into the ground, Ozioma couldn’t control her emotions as she wept by the graveside.
Mourners had to assist her when it was time to pour sand into the grave.
The gospel singer died on 25 November 2022.
Hillary Vincent, the project manager of the popular gospel singer, had denied the viral reports that the singer slumped in his Lekki, Lagos, residence on Friday morning, 25 November, 2022.
Many media outlets reported that after he allegedly slumped, he was rushed to the hospital, and was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, in an exclusive interview with Sunday Scoop, Vincent said: “It is not true that Sammie slumped and died. That report is false. At the right time, the family will set the records straight. But, I can tell you authoritatively that he did not slump. Rather, he just did not wake up from his sleep.”
The singer was best known for songs such as Welu Welu, which was on his first album, ‘Unconditional Love’.
‘Na only You’ was another popular song which was contained in the album ‘No More Drama’.
The album featured other gospel singers such as Kefee, Essence, Ige Samsong and Soji Isreal.
