“She Couldn’t Open Her Eyes or Speak for Weeks!” – Friend Spills Heartbreaking Details of Omije Ojumi’s Last Moments

Fresh and painful details have landed about the final moments of our beloved gospel singer, Bunmi Akinnaanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi, who sadly left us on Monday, January 12, 2026.

If you thought you knew the whole story, wait until you hear what her close friend and colleague, Lanre Alewilese, has just revealed.

In a viral video that is currently making everyone emotional, Lanre opened up about the severe suffering the 46-year-old singer went through before she finally gave up the ghost. According to him, the situation was so bad that for weeks, Omije Ojumi could not even open her eyes or utter a single word.

Imagine seeing someone so full of life and songs helpless like that? Lanre said watching her in that condition was pure torture.

Many fans are asking, “Why didn’t you tell us?” Well, Lanre has an answer. He confessed that he intentionally kept her condition top-secret because there was simply no good news to share.

He said, “I intentionally kept her condition a secret from the public because there was no positive update. I didn’t want to worry anyone unnecessarily. She was struggling, and it was heartbreaking to see her like that…”

Basically, he didn’t want to cause panic when there was no hope in sight. He was trying to protect her dignity and save her fans from heartbreak.

Recall that before her death, the singer had spent months seeking spiritual solutions. A video of her praying fervently for healing had even gone viral, making fans worry. Sadly, despite all efforts, she has gone to rest.

It’s a tough one for the industry. May her soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️
