He posted a picture of the couple on his Instagram page while lamenting about Ogbaro’s untimely death.

“Ohh no, Victor Niyi Ogbaro. This can’t be true. Victor, a regular commentator on this page and husband of Ego Ihenacho, the popular voice on those Lagbaja songs, died today from what I just learnt. May his soul rest in peace,” he wrote.

Ego and Niyi walked down the aisle in 2009, but they reportedly lived apart for a while. The couple sparked breakup rumours after the singer removed her husband’s name from her social media accounts.
