Mike Ejeagha’s Son Reveals What Killed the Iconic Highlife Musician

The family of the famed highlife musician Mike Ejeagha has reportedly revealed the reason for his passing, as reported by Vanguard.

At the age of 95, the legendary musician, who was best known for the hugely successful song “Gwo gwo ngwo,” passed away on Friday evening.

Following a protracted struggle with prostate cancer, the veteran musician passed away, according to his first son, Emma Ejeagha, who confirmed this information in a conversation with Vanguard on Saturday.

He revealed that his father had been undergoing therapy for the sickness since 2006, and that he ultimately passed away at the 32 Garrison Hospital in Enugu that he had been receiving treatment at.

The remains of his father have been sent to the mortuary, according to Emma, who was sitting by his father’s side throughout the final minutes of his life.

In addition to this, he disclosed that the deceased musician had previously expressed his desire that his body not be embalmed or held in the mortuary for an extended amount of time.

Gwo gwo ngwo, a great single by Mike Ejeagha that was released in 1983, has lately resumed its fame on a global scale in 2024. This is due to the fact that it was used in a viral dance challenge that was initiated by Brain Jotter, a well-known maker of skits.
