Multiple award-winning gospel singer, Kefee Don Momoh, has been confirmed dead. She passed on in the early hours of today, after being in coma for weeks in an undisclosed American hospital. She went into a coma, after collapsing on a 14-hour flight on her way to Chicago for an event about a two weeks ago. A close family source revealed she was diagnosed of having pre-eclampsia – pregnancy induced high blood pressure.
