The renowned musician said that the effort was to “massively enlighten and educate youths on the danger of alcoholism as well as drug addiction”.

He said that FADAM would also become an avenue to assist parents as well as families of alcoholic and drug-addicted youths.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to him, it will allow them to overcome the challenges and make their children better citizens of society.

Obey-Fabiyi, then thanked his late son’s friends for their efforts and supports, appreciating Shina, his eldest son, for coordinating all his younger ones for extra and special care for Yinka till the end.

“Once again, I appreciate all condolences, but let us rather turn further condolences to prayer support of this new ministry to help those who are in pain of alcoholism and drug addiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Job 22:21 says ‘Acquaint now thyself with God, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.’ Get out of Alcoholism, Get out of Drugs. Jesus Loves you,” the musician said.
