Sammie Okposo Did Not Slump, He Died Peacefully In His Sleep - Manager Reveals

“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.

“As regards the funeral arrangements, the details will be made known by the family. But right now, they are still in grief and mourning the departed singer.”


“On Friday, I received a troubling call around 4.45am – a call I wish I never received. But it is what it is.

“It was Ozy Okposo (Sammie Okposo’s name) on the other side of the phone saying ‘Sammie, wake up in Jesus name’.

“So, contrary to what blogs reported, he did not slump and die.

“He sat on the chair watching TV, before sleeping. But never went back upstairs to sleep. From his sleep, he slept into glory.

“I went there and saw the body. I conducted CPR and hit him hard. But nobody sees Jesus and looks away. It becomes challenging when a believer crosses over to the other side.

“It is deeply painful for me. I feel hurt,” Peters said shortly before his sermon on Sunday.
