Legendary highlife singer, Pa Chris Ajilo, who composed and sang what has become the Lagos anthem, “Eko OGba Gbere,” has died at the age of 92.
He died in a hospital Saturday morning, according to the singer’s caregiver, David Ekanem.
He said Pa Ajilo had been battling malaria since last week.
Ekanem said, “What happened is that he had malaria last week, so, we gave him malaria medication. The malaria persisted, and as there was no improvement after three days, we rushed him to a hospital at Ilesha (Osun State).”
