Juju singer Saint Janet had difficulty breathing before death, children recount

Veteran Nigerian Juju and Highlife musician, Iyun Janet Ajilore, popularly known as Saint Janet, complained of chest pain and difficulty breathing shortly before she died, according to her children.

The family disclosed this during an interview with Alore TV published on YouTube on Tuesday, as they recounted the singer’s final hours.

Her daughter, Omowunmi, said Saint Janet had performed at an overnight show in Sango, Ogun State, on the eve of her death and appeared healthy throughout the event.

“She performed the previous night. People even celebrated her with applause. We did not suspect anything. After the show, we came home and slept. The show was overnight,” she said.

According to Omowunmi, the singer visited the market the following day and returned home around 6 p.m. She insisted on cooking for herself despite appearing normal earlier.
