Reports reaching us have it that top Nigerian
producer, Babatunde Okungbowa aka OJB
Jezreel, is dead.
He was said to have died early this morning,
June 14, in an undisclosed Lagos hospital. The
news of his demise is coming just one month to
his 50th birthday as a family source claims that
his kidney transplant failed completely since last
week. Recall that the producer was down with
kidney related disease, and was consequently
flown to India for a transplant in 2013. On
October 21, same year, the singer successfully
underwent the surgery at the Indian hospital.
After the successful surgery, the producer came
out to thank all his well-wishers, especially his
first wife Mabel Okungbowa, popularly called
Mama J, who accompanied him on the trip and
donated her kidney to him. However, in 2015, the
veteran Nigerian musician and producer was
reported to have suffered a setback in his
recovery from the kidney transplant; but he
came forward to deny such reports. He sent out
a broadcast message and said:
”Hi my name is Babatunde okungbowa a.k.a OJB
Jezreel. I’d like to set the record straight, am at
home and healthy with my family going about my
normal business. Obviously bloggers don’t
research before they post. If they did they would
know that a transplant patient will always do
routine checkups cus of infections etc. Mmmm
nuff said am sure hiptv, orisun tv,encomium,el tv
and black jerzie seeing and speaking with me in
the past 2 weeks. Wasn’t on a hospital bed or in
one! Research proper if it’s gossip worthy or
not.”
Reports this morning indicate that the talented
musician passed on Tuesday, June 14.
OJB Jezreel is survived by 3 wives, June ‘Ama’,
Korede and Mabel and many children. May his
soul rest in perfect peace.
