According to preliminary reports, it is believed that Dokpesi suffered a stroke and subsequently succumbed to his condition while receiving treatment at an Abuja hospital. The stroke is said to have occurred following the conclusion of the recent Ramadan fast, a period during which Dokpesi was observed to be in good health.

Unfortunately, his sudden demise has cut short his efforts to regain full strength and vitality.
