Late Gospel Singer Aduke Gold For Burial August 23

The funeral arrangements for the late gospel singer, Aduke Ajayi, better known as Aduke Gold, have been made public by her stepbrother, Pastor Ajayi Aderogbo.

A snippet of an interview that was released on Wednesday showed Pastor Aderogbo talking about his strong friendship with the deceased musician. 

He said, “I’m her elder brother and like a father to her because we share the same father but have different mothers. I began taking care of her in 1993 after the death of our father.”

He went on to share the family’s plans for her burial, saying: “We held a family meeting and decided that the burial would take place on the 23rd of August, with several outlined programmes. On the 21st, there will be a candlelight vigil.”

The news of Aduke Gold's passing was made public on Tuesday, August 13.

Esther Igbeke, a fellow gospel singer, posted a tribute on social media on Tuesday, sharing the news of Aduke Gold's passing along with the words, "A general has fallen. RIP."
