We consider this period
a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the
circumstance in which she passed away; the abundance of talent she exhibited in
her short but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to
the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her
father, step- mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply sympathise with her
family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry,
especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage.
We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are devastated by the
sudden loss.”
