\"Sir<\/p>\n

Sir Shina Peters, the veteran Afro-juju musician and a close ally of the deceased, told Saturday Beats that he lost consciousness when he was informed of Kujore\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Describing his relationship with Kujore, he said, \u201cI was the first person Kujore\u2019s son reached out to on the phone immediately after his death. I screamed and lost consciousness when he broke the sad news to me. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt took the help of those who were with me in Abuja at the time to revive me after I fainted. I had to abandon all I was doing in Abuja and headed to Lagos immediately because I knew that we, members of the Association of Juju Musicians in Nigeria, have so much to do in memory of him. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI will surely miss him for his talent and our friendship because we grew up together and we both performed alongside Prince Adekunle. Also, we started our bands around the same time. We had so much in common. Until Kujore\u2019s demise, I had only felt that way when Michael Jackson died.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
