According to her, The One Love crooner performed at an event, and they both had a light-hearted moment with her on stage. 

However, shortly after returning to her seat, Onwenu slumped and passed out.

Joke Silva said that she had escorted Onyeka Onwenu to the hospital, where she remained for about an hour and a half before dying.

“We were at the party together at the same table. At some point, when she was going around the room during her performance, she came to me and pulled me up, and we had a bit of a twirl.

“She was singing ‘One Love’, and close to the (end of the) song, we both went back to our seats. And it was when I looked across that I heard Shola Momoh saying ‘she’s not well, she slumped on her chair’. But then she was just unconscious. She had a pulse.

“CPR was performed while she was laid down on the floor. We tried to revive her. We asked for doctors in the house to come and look at her and they did. Later on, I went to the hospital. And she was there for about one and half hours before she finally passed”, she said.
