Reports reaching NAIJ.com have it that top Nigerian producer, Babatunde Okungbowa aka OJB Jezreel, is dead. He
was said to have died early this morning, June 14, in an undisclosed
Lagos hospital. The news of his demise is coming just one month to his
50th birthday as a family source claims that his kidney transplant
failed completely since last week.
Recall that the producer was down
with kidney related disease, and was consequently flown to India for a
transplant in 2013. On October 21, same year, the singer successfully
underwent the surgery at the Indian hospital. After the successful
surgery, the producer came out to thank all his well-wishers, especially
his first wife Mabel Okungbowa, popularly called Mama J, who
accompanied him on the trip and donated her kidney to him. However, in
2015, the veteran Nigerian musician and producer was reported to have
suffered a setback in his recovery from the kidney transplant; but he
came forward to deny such reports. He sent out a broadcast message and
said:
”Hi my name is Babatunde okungbowa a.k.a OJB Jezreel. I’d
like to set the record straight, am at home and healthy with my family
going about my normal business. Obviously bloggers don’t research before
they post. If they did they would know that a transplant patient will
always do routine checkups cus of infections etc. Mmmm nuff said am sure
hiptv, orisun tv,encomium,el tv and black jerzie seeing and speaking
with me in the past 2 weeks. Wasn’t on a hospital bed or in one!
Research proper if it’s gossip worthy or not.”
Reports this morning indicate that the talented musician passed on Tuesday, June 14.
OJB Jezreel is survived by 3 wives, June ‘Ama’, Korede and Mabel and many children. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
