The family of late gospel singer Aduke Ajayi, known as Aduke Gold, has revealed her cause of death.
It was earlier reported that Aduke Gold died on Monday at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo State.
There have been conflicting reports about her cause of death that flooded social media, including that from a journalist and owner of YES FM in Ibadan, Yemi Sonde.
In the now-viral video, Mr Sonde, during a programme on YES 101.7 FM, alleged that Aduke Gold died during a fibroids removal surgery.
However, the late singer’s brother, Aderogbo Ajayi, a pastor, during a viral interview with Gbeborun9ja on Thursday, said claims about Aduke Gold’s cause of death were false.
Mr Ajayi said: “She was ill; she had cervical cancer (a type of cancer that starts in the cervix—the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb) that connects to the vagina).
“She was taken to UCH in Ibadan, but unfortunately, she died. We have gotten the death certificate, and whoever is spreading false information should stop. Our daughter was ill; she had cervical cancer, and to the Glory of God, she rested on Monday, the 12th of August.
