Gospel artiste dies in Lagos studio: How the Incident Happened
Earlier that day, the victims arrived at the studio to rehearse and record gospel songs for a virtual birthday praise programme. Because they worked late into the night, they decided to remain inside the studio.
However, by the following morning, the studio owner’s husband returned to the building and noticed the door was locked from inside. As a result, he called for assistance, and neighbours forced the door open. Shortly after, they found all four occupants lifeless inside the studio.
