Yemi Sonde, a popular Nigerian media figure and one of the late gospel singer Aduke Ajayi Gold's closest confidants, has broken his silence and exposed the heartbreaking truth about what killed her.
Yemi Sonde bared it all on Yes 101.7 FM Ibadan, revealing the heartbreaking details of her untimely death.
He revealed that what ultimately claimed Aduke Gold’s life was a routine medical procedure—a fibroid operation.
Yemi Sonde began by drawing a vivid picture of Aduke Gold's life, recalling the challenges and accomplishments that formed her path.
He described how she was mentored by gospel music legend Tope Alabi, who noticed her unique gift and christened her Aduke Gold.
He also highlighted the pivotal role played by Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, her benefactor, who sponsored her education singlehanded, and guided her from the tender age of four, when she became an orphan, to the moment she started to ascend the heights of her career.
