Lagbaja’s former back up singer Ego loses her husband (Photo).

Lagbaja’s backing vocalist, Ego, a well-known Nigerian musician, has lost her husband to the cold, cruel grip of death.

According to Nigerian journalist Chris Kehinde, Ogbaro died on Wednesday in the US.

He captioned a photo of the couple that he shared on Instagram on Thursday with the words: “Ohh No Victor Niyi Ogbaro this can’t be true. According to what I’ve learned, Ego’s husband Victor passed away today.”

Nwakaego Iheanacho whose stage name is Ego, married Ogbaro in 2009 but they had to go their seperate ways for a time.

Before her husband passed away, Ego blocked Ogbaro from her social media accounts, which fueled rumors that their marriage was having problems.
