“This is a sad development, we just lost a golden voice. Let us please remember his family in prayers. We were not completely fair to Evang. Chinedu Nwadike.

Ibekwe added, “Earlier, when his ailment surfaced online, so many people criticized him, those who called him fake, g#y and so on, it was way too much for him, way too much, a man lying on his sickbed, scrolling through his social media handles and seeing unfair comments, definitely wouldn’t go down well with him, even some pastors openly went against him.

“He told us he got ‘miraculously’ healed of his kidney ailment, so many of us trolled him yet again and called him fake, said his ailment was fake, he was just using it to raise money, we said but today he is no more, he is dead, maybe, just maybe, his death is fake too, he just wants to attract sympathy, what a generation!”

“Chinedu has a great vibe, whenever he steps into a circle, you would definitely know he was there and Baba had a great heart.

“My heart goes out to his family, his kids are too tender, that breaks my heart the most. I hope we put humanity first! We just lost a golden voice! His songs are just playing in my head right now.”

Before his death, Chinedu Nwadike had sought financial assistance to enable him travel to India for treatment of the blood cancer.

He was said to have been on the verge of finalizing the trip when he succumbed to the disease.
