Farida Fassasi, wife of veteran singer, late Olanrewaju Fasasi aka Sound Sultan, has raised alarm as scammers have hacked her late husband’s social media handles and taken over his pages. The singer died on July 11 after battling cancer.
Farida raised the alarm on her page this afternoon. She wrote
”Hello everyone, Kindly disregard any communication from all @soundsultan ‘s social media accounts
The accounts have been hacked by scammers sending messages to innocent people to solicit funds. Please the family has no control over the accounts. Let’s be watchful. Cybercrime is at an all time high. Thank you so much for your support all the way..you would be informed when we have control over the accounts.
Farida had earlier shared an emotional post on her Instagram page, in which she talked about how her world went pitch black, a month ago.
She said it still feels like a bad dream and she could not believe this is her current fate, but she also used the opportunity to thank those who have been with her in this trying time.
She begged her friends and loved ones to keep Lanre alive in their hearts by letting love lead because the singer’s life was the perfect example of love.
In her words ;
On the 11th of July 2021 my world went pitch black, its been a month and still I can see no color.
It still feels like a bad dream… how is this my fate?. Living without you has to be the worst punishment life has thrown my way.
My dear Aboo, my nights have been so long and cold since you left me. My sweet gentle husband, the love of my entire life, my world. Thank you for giving me the best of yourself for the past years. Our love was truly perfect and I am totally lost without you.
I have been told that this is the will of God but I’m still struggling with it. Lanre, I’m struggling daily!!… Time heals right??… Hmmm!
I wish to use this medium to thank everyone for the immense support and all the kind words towards our family. I do not take this for granted. Lanre was truly the best guy and I count it a privilege to have shared my life with him.
Let’s keep him alive in our hearts by letting love lead. Love is the only true religion and Lanre’s life is a perfect example.
Love,Farida
