‘How Onyeka Onwenu died in my presence’ – Peter Obi reveals late singer’s final moments

On Wednesday, late singer Onyeka Onwenu passed away in Peter Obi’s presence in Lagos, according to the former Labour Party presidential candidate.

According to ZINGTIE, Onyeka Onwenu passed away on Tuesday night following her attendance at Stella Okoli’s (Managing Director of Emzor Pharmaceuticals) birthday celebration.

Following a stunning performance of her well-known songs, Obi revealed in a post on his official X feed that the singer passed out during the event and was taken to a hospital on Victoria Island, Lagos.

He claimed that after almost two hours, the singer was regrettably declared dead despite the efforts of the medical personnel.

Seeing the “tragic event that will forever be etched in my memory” was, according to Obi, a sad time for him.

“I was present at the event where the iconic song star, Onyeka Onwenu, performed a couple of her songs ending up with her famous song, ‘One Love Keep Us Together’.

“It was a beautiful performance, but little did we know it would be her final bow. Just about a few minutes after her performance, she sat down and drank some water and immediately collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital.

“I followed her to the hospital. I watched in pain as the doctors and medical staff fought tirelessly and battled to save her life , doing everything possible to bring her back to life but eventually came out with the sad news that she was gone. Despite their valiant efforts, she sadly passed away after over two hours of intense struggle.”

“My heart goes out to her children and family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. May we find the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss,” he added.
