The singer was said to have died on Wednesday night at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH.
His death was confirmed by the General Manager of Premier Music, Michael Odiong.
Signed to Premier Records, the singer was popular in the 80s for his signature jerry curl and hits like ‘Funky Situation’, ‘Baby Don’t Cry’, ‘Making my Way’ and ‘Love Everlasting’.
He also performed at an evening of tributes organised for the late Ras Kimono by the Copyright Society of Nigeria in August 2018.
In 2019, the Abia State-born artiste who was a member of the PMAN Caretaker Committee and COSON solicited funds to help pay for his hospital treatment.
