Popular gospel singer, Benita Okojie, is currently bereaved as she has just lost her loving father who has gone to be with the creator.

The singer made the breaking news some hours back while urging her fans to remember her family in their prayers as they try to pull through the sad times they are going through.

She stated that her happiness is that her father was alive to walk her down the aisle before he departed to glory as she also noted that she is happy that she drilled her now husband well before accepting him.

In her words, “My hero and father has gone to be with Jesus. He made such great impact in my life and in the lives of so many people. I'm eternally grateful to God that you walked me down the aisle. Quizzed my then boyfriend like every father would, gave your consent and enjoyed that day and many other months with us. I love you with all my heart.

“Thank you for believing in us (your children) and seeing to it that we all followed our passion. Thank you for your legacy. No more tears anymore. Now it’s celebration. You will be celebrated for life. Mummy misses you like crazy but she knows you're with Jesus. You remain in our hearts forever. THANK YOU, OBU SIR!! Jesus is coming soon so I know we will see in heaven soon. Till then, rest with Jesus Baba Benita.”
