Producer OJB Jezreel is dead, after battling kidney issues for years. If you recall, he had a kidney transplant two years ago and was thought to be getting better. He however had a relapse last week where it was discovered that the kidney failed.
He finally passed on in the early hours of this morning.
The family has issued a statement and it reads:
”It is with sadness in our hearts that we report that Babatunde Okungbowa, known to the world as OJB Jezreel passed on early this morning, Tuesday, June 14, 2016.
His kidney transplant had failed completely since last week.
He was down with kidney related disease, and consequently was flown to India for a transplant in 2013.
After the successful surgery, OJB Jezreel, showered praises on his first wife, Mama J, for being there for him and donating one of her kidneys to save his life.
OJB passes on a month to his 50th birthday. His body has been deposited in a morgue at Isolo General Hospital.
He is survived by three wives, June, Korede, Mabel and eight children.”
We pray that he rest in peace and may the Almighty grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
