Sammie Okposo’s most recent album, The Statement (2018), was produced by the Grammy-winning Kevin Bond.

He became well-known for his genre of high-praise within and outside Nigeria and was a role model to a lot of gospel singers.

In an exclusive interview, Okposo’s manager, Hillary Vincent, revealed that the singer died in his sleep as against earlier speculations that he slumped.

Vincent said, “It is not true that Sammie slumped and died. That report is false. At the right time, the family will set the records straight. But, I can tell you authoritatively that he did not slump. Rather, he just did not wake up from his sleep.”

Sammie Okposo started his music career as a soundtrack producer for Nollywood in 1992. He was well-known at that time in the small circle of Nollywood actors and producers.

He later began to get more career flashpoints when he started the Sammie Okposo Praise Party, a platform that brought many up-and-coming Nigerian gospel artistes into the scene.

The Niger Delta-born music star was known for emboldening the gospel music scene by taking his music away from the quiet confines of the church.

He released his first album Unconditional Love in 2000.
