Mrs. Idowu Olomola, the widow of the late gospel singer Roland Olubukola Olomola, known as ‘Baba Ara,’ attended a 20th remembrance event hosted by the Celestial Performing Artistes Association of Nigeria (CPAAN) in Ogun state.
Recall that, Baba Ara died on December 31, 2004, at the age of 42, and his passing was a shocking event for both the gospel music genre and the entertainment industry.
The widow of the late singer shared with the church congregetion that she cried for seven years after her husband died.
“I decided to leave Christianity and go back to my former religion (Islam). I questioned God. What was my husband’s offence? It should not have been him, He didn’t die when we were poor,” she recalled.
Baba Ara’s widow shared that after seven years of grieving, she found her way back to Christianity after receiving a message from God.
“Later, God told me that it was your husband that died, his voice didn’t die. Many people have died and no one listens to their songs anymore. I didn’t understand then but now I know that my husband is not dead,” she said at his 20th year remembrance.

Baba Ara was well-known for his popular songs such like The Call and the Anointing, Adiitu Agbayanu Nla, The Word, and Jekaye Mo (Let The World Know).
