A popular Nigerian singer, Sabi, the “Show Your Style” crooner, has been shot dead by gunmen in a Lagos State hotel, Daily Sun is reporting.
The younger brother of the singer, Kingsley, made this known to the newspaper, adding that he was shot dead on Tuesday night.
Daily Sun was told by Kingsley that the artist was resident in the hotel when a group of young men reportedly stormed the premises and opened fire.
The Anambra State-born Sabi, whose real name is Sabinus Chukwuebuka Nelson Obi, rose to prominence in early 2010 as an Afro-pop act with a knack for catchy, danceable tunes, with: “Show Your Style,” a track that gained popularity within Nigeria’s Afro-pop scene and later earned a remix featuring Oritse Femi.
