Mike Ejeagha, the legendary highlife musician, passed away on Friday night after a prolonged 16-year battle with prostate cancer.

His eldest son, Emma Ejeagha, disclosed this in a telephone conversation with Vanguard on Saturday.

The highlife icon died at the 32 Garrison Hospital in Enugu, at the age of 95.

According to Emma, his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006 and had been hospitalized multiple times over the years. His health took a turn for the worse two weeks ago, prompting another hospitalization. Although he was initially stabilized and discharged, he was rushed back to the hospital last Tuesday. Sadly, he did not survive.

Emma, who was present during his father’s final moments, described him as a peace-loving man and a genius.

“Papa died at exactly 8.00 p.m. on Friday, and his body has been deposited in the morgue. 

“I was with him during his final moments. I will meet with my family in the morning to break the news to them,” Emma said.

Before his death, Ejeagha had instructed his son not to embalm his body or keep it in the morgue for too long. (Courtesy: Vanguard)
