Juju musician-turned-evangelist,
Although the family is yet to disclose the cause of death, we however gathered that the lady evangelist had recently travelled to a healthcare centre in India. A family source also told Nigerian Entertainment Today (NET) that she died of a heart related disease.
Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi reportedly quoted a bible verse at his first reaction of her death, ‘For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even unto death (Psalm 48:18)’, and speaking with our reporter when NET paid a visit to his residence on Olu Akerele Street by Balogun Bus/Stop, Ikeja on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 where a press briefing was being held, he said, ‘I have nothing much to say, but to thank the creator…. Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD (Job 1:21)’.
Born Juliana Olaide Olufade on March 23, 1945, the deceased married the Obey in 1963. NET also gathered that she was a frontline businesswoman and a poultry farmer.
Mrs. J. O. Obey-Fabiyi is survived by her husband, Evang. Obey Fabiyi (MFR), Shina, Rotimi, Bukky Obey-Olaiya, Lanre, Toluwaleke and Folarin.

The Lord is good, our God called our sweet mum to eternal rest. I believe our dad Obey will be good by God’s grace.
