Fans, friends mourn four gospel artistes killed in Ogun accident...

Fans and friends of four gospel artistes who died in an accident along the Sagamu-Ikorodu Expressway on Saturday have taken to social media to express their condolences over the death of the singers.

The details News Metro reports that the musicians, including Kekere Jesu, lost their lives in a fatal motor accident along the expressway.

“Heart-wrenching. may the Lord comfort their family and loved ones. Untimely death is nullified in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

“This shows life is complicated. Sometimes, you can do everything right and still get it wrong. You can pray hard, and evil still happens to you. Life is just complicated. We only survive by grace, not by strength.

“There are situations in life we can’t have answers to until we meet God face to face. Rest well, Kings and Queens.”

Rotimi Oladele chronicled the childhood journey of two of the musicians while praying for the repose of their souls.

“Kekere Jesu and Iyanu Joseph began their ministerial journey from childhood; I knew Iyanu since 2010, we attended the same CAC church in Ado Ekiti before he was connected with Kekere Jesu.

“They shared the same vision, they were attending the same university here in Ekiti.

They are gone so soon but still, they do exploit the ministry. May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace,” Oladele wrote.

Ayeni Abosede recalled how she lost her friends on the same expressway.
