Sadly, Emmanuel Okoi, an artiste and Repatour manager (A&R) with Edlyne Records’ and LKT’s manager popularly known as Emibrian, has passed on. This is coming just one month after he married his wife Jennifer Ejinkonye at the Ikoyi registry. They had been planning their white wedding when he suddenly fell ill.

He died yesterday, January 15th 2013 at Agege General hospital in Lagos after weeks of battling an unknown ailment. While he was sick, series of tests were conducted to ascertain the nature of his ailment without any result. However, one last one that revealed the true picture as food poisoning.

It was reported that plans were already in place to fly him out of the country when he died yesterday. He was in his early 30s.

This is so sad. May his soul rest in peace and may God comfort his widow and the family and friends he left behind.
