Legendary Nigerian singer Ebenezer Obey has refuted circulating rumours suggesting that he has passed away.
Reports circulated online alleging that the 83-year-old singer had died from a stroke.
However, a recent video posted on his Instagram page showed Obey very much alive, performing ‘I Have A God Who Never Fails’ with his two sons.

He called the reports “lies from the kingdom of darkness” and “the intention of the enemy,” assuring that he is alive, healthy, and did not experience a stroke.
“People of God, ladies and gentlemen, the enemies have come again. I left Lagos this morning for London, and I arrived in London a few hours ago. On arrival, I saw the video that announced again that my ‘enemy’ was dead, my enemy had a stroke and all the lies they are speaking,” he said.
“They even carried coffins and showed several photographs. Everything they have said is nothing but lies. It is the intention of the enemy, and I know that would never ever come to pass. My God is indeed in control. I left Lagos with my children.
“Everything they have said is nothing but lies that came from the kingdom of darkness. I am alive, I am alive, says the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much. I don’t have a stroke. I came to London to look after myself.”
Obey has faced such rumours before, having denied false reports of his death in 2020 and once more in April of this year.
