Nigerian singer Niniola Apata has sparked concern among fans after sharing a new video of herself on social media, weeks after announcing the death of her husband, Michael Ndika.
The singer posted the clip on her Instagram Story, where she appeared wearing a short blue dress and a cap. However, many fans were quick to notice what they described as a significant weight loss, prompting an outpouring of sympathy and prayers.
Reacting to the video, several followers shared messages of support, expressing worry about the singer’s well-being as she continues to mourn her late husband.

In May, Niniola announced the passing of her husband through a series of emotional posts on Instagram, revealing publicly for the first time that they had been married for 13 years.
While confirming the heartbreaking news, the singer did not disclose the cause of his death, simply stating that God had taken him from her.
In the days that followed, she shared several photos and videos of Michael, paying tribute to him and describing the joy they shared throughout their marriage.
She wrote that there was never a dull moment with him and expressed gratitude for the years they spent together.
Michael Ndika was the Chief Executive Officer of NaijaReview, an entertainment and digital media platform.
His death came as a surprise to many fans because Niniola had successfully kept their marriage away from the public spotlight throughout their relationship.
As of the time of writing, the cause of Michael Ndika’s death has not been made public.
