He had been on long-term medication and previously sought treatment in Israel in 2023. However, his health did not improve as expected.

Okupe was first diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 years ago and later developed sarcoma in his right shoulder.

As of Friday morning, his family had begun making arrangements for the transfer of his remains to the mortuary.
