Hilary Vincent, the late Sammie Okposo’s project manager, has revealed how the legendary musician passed away.

On Friday, the musician passed away at age 51. At his home in Lagos State, he was said to have slouched.

On the contrary, Vincent revealed in an interview with Punch, that the gospel minister passed away in his sleep.

He 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.

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.

Sammie Okposo is survived by his wife, Ozioma and children.
