Legendary Nigerian singer Ebenezer Obey has once again denied internet reports that he has died.
According to earlier, unconfirmed reports, the iconic singer passed away in Lagos.
Obey, however, denied the allegations on social media, saying, “I am alive and strong.”
The music legend told the public to disregard such erroneous information, calling the rumours “false and misleading.”
The artist underlined that his time had not yet arrived in accordance with God’s plan for his life.
Obey, who just turned eighty-three, also thanked everyone who contacted him to see how he was doing.
“It is fake news that started a few hours ago that Evangelist Ebenezer Obey has passed on to glory. It is a pure lie. I am alive. And that is not what Jesus has written about me. What Jesus has written about me is only what will manifest upon my life. I am alive, says the Lord. And do not believe any fake news, I am alive. And I dey kampe,” he said.
“My time is not up yet. Until when Jesus says my time is up, nobody… Everything they are saying… (any purported evil over me will not come to pass). It is Yoruba. Thank you to all the people who have been calling. I am alive.”
