The family of the late gospel singer Aduke Ajayi, fondly called Aduke Gold, has disclosed her cause of death.
Aduke Gold passed away at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan on 12th of August, 2024.
Her unexpected death sparked a range of reactions on social media, with fans and colleagues in the industry expressing their grief.
Shortly after her passing, a report went viral, claiming that Aduke Gold died while undergoing fibroid surgery.
However, her brother, Pastor Ajayi Aderogbo, addressed the rumors, urging people to verify information before spreading it.

“Whoever is saying what is not should stop it, our daughter was ill, she had cervical cancer, she was taken to UCH in Ibadan and unfortunately, she died. The information spreading around is false,” he said.
