Revealed: Aduke Gold’s hidden struggles before untimely death

In a somber revelation, a former manager of the late Gospel singer Aduke Gold has disclosed the severe hardships she faced prior to her death.

The manager, who chose to remain anonymous, described Aduke’s experiences with extensive physical and sexual abuse, which profoundly affected her despite her young age.

Aduke Gold, who passed away on August 11, 2024, at 37 years old, was undergoing surgery for cervical cancer when she died.

The manager detailed that Aduke endured not only physical injuries but also significant emotional distress. He claimed that she was adept at concealing her suffering, often masking her pain with outward smiles and failing to confide in those around her.

“She was exceptionally skilled at hiding her emotions and kept her struggles private,” the manager stated. “Perhaps if she had shared her pains with friends and colleagues, things might have turned out differently.”

Reports from an independent source indicate that Aduke’s physical abuse stemmed from a tumultuous relationship with a drummer who performed with renowned Gospel artist Lanre Teriba.

Another source revealed that Aduke also suffered abuse from a restaurateur in the Ogba area of Lagos State. According to this source, Aduke’s kindness and gentle nature made her vulnerable to exploitation by men who took advantage of her.
