Breaking: Popular Nigerian Gospel Singer, Aduke Gold Is Dead

The Nigerian gospel music industry has been thrown into mourning following the death of Aduke Ajayi, better known as Aduke Gold.

CityNews Nigeria reports that Aduke’s demise was announced by her colleague, Esther Igbeke, in a post via her Instagram page on Monday.

Esther posted a tribute with Aduke Gold’s picture and the caption: “A general has fallen. RIP.”

However, the circumstances surrounding her death were not revealed.

Despite the competitive nature of the gospel music industry, Aduke Gold had made a significant impact with her soul-lifting songs.

Aduke Gold’s breakthrough single, “Nitori 0go” (translated as ‘Because of Glory’), featured on her popular eight-track album, gained viral praise on social media.

Aduke Gold’s death comes barely six months after the death of another prominent gospel singer, Egbin Orun, who died on April 28, 2024.
