Nigerian singer Niniola has revealed the death of her husband in a series of emotional Instagram posts.

Nigerian afro-house singer Niniola Apata has announced the death of her husband, Michael Ndika.

The Grammy-nominated singer shared the heartbreaking news via a series of emotional posts on her Instagram Story in the early hours of Wednesday.

Niniola initially posted, “God took him,” before updating with, “My husband died.” Later she added, “God took him, 13 years, 13 f***ing years.” Photos of the singer and her late husband accompanied the posts.

Ndika was reportedly the Chief Executive Officer of NaijaReview, a multimedia platform dedicated to afro-house and contemporary African music, before his death.

The details of his death have not been disclosed to the public, and Niniola, who typically keeps her personal life private, has not provided any further information about the circumstances.

The 39-year-old singer gained widespread recognition after emerging as a standout contestant on Project Fame West Africa in 2013. She later became one of Nigeria’s most recognised music exports, gaining international attention with her 2017 hit single, Maradona.
