On his reaction to the death of Majek Fashek who died following an undisclosed illness that kept him bedridden, Wiliki noted that though sad, it was not entirely unexpected due to Majek’s well-known struggles.

“Like somebody said, evil day postpone. It’s what we had been expecting because he had been ill for a while. We were just praying to God to grant him healing,” said Wiliki.

Majekodunmi Fasheke died after battling an illness for a long time. The reggae legend succumbed to his infirmities on Monday while receiving treatment in the United States. He was 58 years old.
