Sammie Okposo's family has announced the details of his funeral

 Sammie Okposo, a deceased gospel performer, passed away in his sleep on Friday, November 25, at the age of 51. His family has announced the details of his funeral. The obituary stated that on Tuesday, December 13th, a tribute night would be organized in his honor, and on Wednesday, December 14th, a ceremony of music would be performed. On December 15th, the singer would be laid to rest at a strictly invitation-only private interment.

Recall that the singer's family had previously made a formal announcement on his untimely passing. Okposo's family said in a statement that they are comforted by their conviction that the gospel singer is joyfully singing with the angels in heaven.

“We are the consoled because we know he is with Jesus singing with the angels.”

The statement added, “We kindly request that the family is allowed to grieve peacefully at this time.”

The lead Pastor of the LOGIC Church, Flourish Peters, spoke about the singer's passing and shared details of his final moments. Sammie Okposo apparently slept into glory since his wife discovered him dozing off on a chair, according to Pastor Flourish Peters.

“On Friday, I received a troubling call around 4.45 am – a call I wish I never received. But it is what it is. It was Ozy Okposo (Sammie Okposo’s wife’s name) on the other side of the phone saying ‘Sammie, wake up in Jesus’ name’.

“So, contrary to what blogs reported, he did not slump and die. He sat on the chair watching TV, before sleeping. But never went back upstairs to sleep. From his sleep, he slept into glory.

“I went there and saw the body. I conducted CPR and hit him hard. But nobody sees Jesus and looks away. It becomes challenging when a believer crosses over to the other side.

It is deeply painful for me. I feel hurt,” Peters said shortly before his sermon on Sunday.
