Unyime, confirmed the report of Mr King’s passing in a Facebook post on Sunday.
According to her, "this is an open post to everyone just to respond to all who have tried to reach me that I’m unable to respond to because of the volumes of calls coming in.
"I will be unavailable for a while after this post so my children and I can process in private.
"All I want to say right now is that my everlasting date Ubong King has completed the short 48 years assignment that our Lord asked him to do and he’s at peace now," Mrs King said in the post.
Mrs King said she needed some private moment with the kids, and, therefore, would not be available to respond to calls.
"I need to keep my mind strong so love me from a distance and pray for us all," she said.
"I can’t do RIP yet – maybe later. But the family and I are stable and God is in our corner." May his soul rest in peace!
