A Lagos gospel artiste and three members of his crew have been found dead inside a music studio in Ajah, Lagos State.
The victims are Matthew Ogundele, Itunu Ogundele, Joseph Sanya, and a blogger Matthew Awosanya, popularly known as JoesTv.
They were discovered dead in a studio in the Abraham Adesanya area on Wednesday.
The group had performed the previous night at a birthday praise event organized by gospel artiste, Olanireti Akinbola.
