Tears flowed freely as family members, colleagues and fans of the late gospel musician Aduke Ajayi, also known as Aduke Gold bid her farewell.
Aduke Gold was laid to rest on Friday following a moving burial service held in the African church primary school, Ogba axis of Lagos State.

Family, friends, and colleagues joined the procession, creating an emotional scene as they made their way to the burial site. A white car, decorated with floral tributes and the name ‘ADUKE,’ accompanied the funeral procession, eliciting expressions of sympathy from passersby and well-wishers.
During the burial service, tributes were paid to Aduke Gold, stating her contributions and impact on the gospel music scene.
Her elder brother, Aderounmu Ajayi, a cleric, addressed the media, clarifying that earlier reports suggesting her death was due to fibroid surgery were incorrect. He urged the public to pray for the family and respect their grief during this difficult time.
