Friday, January 30, 2026 - The remains of Nigerian gospel musician, Bunmi Adeoye Akinnanu, popularly known as for her hit song “Omije Ojumi ,” who passed away on January 1, has been laid to rest at Atan cemetery here in Lagos. Her body was interred today January 28.
Her interment was however interrupted by a drama that took
place at her graveside between her estranged husband's family members and their
kids.
According to reports, the estranged husband who is said to
be based in the US had asked to speak with their children just by her
graveside. This was however resisted by her family members on grounds that he
hasn't been in the lives of the children and that the graveside wasn't the
place for him to demand to speak with the children who were mourning the
passing of their mum.
A shouting match ensued between one of the estranged
husband's sister and the late gospel singer's son after the aunt claimed he is
a member of their family and that they love him
‘’We
are your family and we love you/ Your father loved you! Your father loves you!
and I love you!'' she could be heard shouting
The distraught son of the deceased singer fired back
shouting
‘’I am not.
I am not!'' he said as other family members held him and tried calming him down
