I loved Moses Ochie like a brother. I know that everyone at COSON, especially our General Manager, Mr. Chinedu Chukwuji, also loved Moses. He was incredibly talented and had great respect for everyone. He was a gentleman to the core and a great ambassador of the music profession. I prayed and prayed for his ailment not to have the better of him. Just recently, COSON took active steps to generate resources to support his treatment. Sadly, it appears that our best was not good enough. Our hearts go out to his daughters, the entire Ochie family, his friends and fans. May the gentle and musical soul of Moses Ochie rest in peace”
