Nigerian gospel musician, Bunmi Adeoye Akinnanu, popularly known as for her hit song “Omije jumi ,” has d!ed at the age of 46.

According to Daily Post, her de@th was announced on Tuesday evening by a close source to the singer.

Some friends have also taken to their social media accounts to mourn her de@th.

The singer’s passing comes months after she publicly appealed for prayers and divine healing while battling a serious leg ailment.

In 2025, a video of Akinnanu surfaced online from a church service at G.F. David Ministries in Ibadan, Oyo State, where she was seen seated with her leg stretched out while prayers were offered for her recovery.

During the service, a cleric disclosed that the singer had been experiencing persistent bleeding in her leg, prompting intense prayers for healing.

Akinnanu rose to fame in the early 2000s after leaving a banking career to pursue music.

Her nickname: Omije Oju mi (Tears of my Eyes), came from her debut album.
