Speaking on his death, Obey described the death of Mutiu Kekere as painful, just as he sympathized with the children and family he left behind.


“Mutiu Kekere was a good man and instrumental in my band. We are good friends’ aside the fact that he was a band member. I will definitely miss him. He has been ill for some years now and I really appreciate the cooperation and support of his children. But we can only try our best as humans, because it is the debt that we must all pay. I pray God grant him eternal rest and children and family he left behind fortitude to bear the loss,” he said.
