I’m not dead — Popular gospel singer, Ayefele dismisses death rumour

The popular Nigerian gospel singer, Dr Yinka Ayefele, has dismissed the rumour that he’s dead, describing as wicked, a Tik Tok video which went viral on social media on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 claiming that he’s dead.

The Informant247 recalls that a video made it to the cyberspace yesterday, which was produced with his images and that of his children (triplet) using a dirge in one of gospel singer Tope Alabi’s tracks.

It was also reported that the Chairman of Fresh Nigeria Limited, Dr Ayefele received countless telephone calls from fans and we’ll wishers who wanted to confirm the factuality of the message passed by the video.

The singer said he wonders what the motive of those who produced the video was for spreading his death rumour.

“I will not die but live to declare the works of God.  God knows the people behind this very dastardly act and will punish them. What will they gain from spreading rumour of my death?

“On Fresh FM, Ibadan this evening, I did my programme called Let’s Talk about It jointly with Enitan Olusegun Bamidele (EOB). My phone kept ringing while on the show and Whatsapp messages have jammed by phone as well.

“A lot of my fans and admirers from all over the world kept calling to find out what really happened. On realising it was fake news, they started cursing those behind it.

“I wish to tell Nigerians that I am hale and hearty and not dead. I am not even under the weather. For someone to conjure up this kind of wickedness is disheartening. I have handed over those behind it to God who will mete out appropriate punishment to them.

“My fans, please disregard the rumour. If Jesus tarries, we will be here for a long time,” he said.
