Lanre Alewilese has revealed details surrounding the final moments of late singer Omije Ojumi
Fresh details have emerged about the final moments of Nigerian gospel singer Bunmi Akinnaanu, widely known as Omije Ojumi, following her passing on Monday, January 12, 2026, at a Lagos hospital.
Lanre Alewilese, a fellow gospel artist and one of the closest people to the late singer during her challenging period, has opened up about the deeply emotional experience of watching her health decline.
Alewilese, who said he was consistently by her side, revealed that he deliberately stopped sharing updates because the situation had become too painful to talk about.
According to him, her health did not just fail to improve; it deteriorated rapidly.
Speaking on Thursday, January 15, 2026, he disclosed that, in the weeks leading to her death, Omije Ojumi could no longer open her eyes or utter a word.
He explained that each day felt heavier than the previous one, and that communicating her condition publicly would only have increased the distress felt by her supporters.
Meanwhile, gospel singer Alayo Melody expressed appreciation to Nigerians, colleagues, prophets, and well-wishers who stood by the late singer.
Alayo, in a video he shared via his social media pages on Thursday, January 14, expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their support for the deceased while she was alive.
The gospel singer also addressed Nigerian prophets who share prophecies of death about celebrities on social media.
