The body of Musabyimana Gloriose, popularly known as Gogo, who passed away in Uganda, has been repatriated to Rwanda. While she had a history of epilepsy, medical reports confirmed that her death was caused by lung complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gogo\u2019s remains arrived in Kigali on Saturday, September 6, 2025, accompanied by her advisors and a few close companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to journalists during the reception, Bikorimana Emmanuel, widely known as Bikem Wayesu, Gogo\u2019s media advisor, described her as far more than just a singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough her words, she comforted many. Some people abandoned thoughts of suicide because of her encouragement and regained hope in life. A week before she died, I asked her about the greatest miracle she had ever experienced from God. She told me, \u2018I have understood that God does not discriminate, and there is no place too far for Him to reach someone.\u2019 That is the lesson she leaves us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bikem explained that he and Gogo had traveled from Rwanda to Uganda in August 2025 for a gospel mission. \u201cOn the first day, there were signs she was bidding us farewell, though we didn\u2019t realize it then. She danced passionately for God and even picked up a stick to encourage others who were reluctant to join in. I made sure those scenes were not filmed,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the second day, he asked her to sing fewer songs because she had overexerted herself the day before. The third day of the crusade went smoothly, after which they traveled from Kakumiro to Kampala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon arrival in Kampala, Gogo\u2019s health began to decline due to her long-standing epilepsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe had official medical records confirming her condition. Sometimes seizures lasted only a couple of minutes, after which she would recover quickly. We always assumed it was manageable, even though epilepsy is not always curable. Unfortunately, that was her reality,\u201d Bikem explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the following days, Gogo experienced repeated seizures. On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, she suffered severe convulsions, prompting her companions to rush her to hospital. \u201cWe arrived at Kyegera Doctors Center around 7 p.m. Sadly, within an hour, she had passed away. It was a painful and shocking moment for us,\u201d Bikem said, recalling the heartbreaking night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her body was later transferred to Mulago Hospital, where medical examinations revealed that the actual cause of death was lung failure. \u201cWe were surprised because we had assumed epilepsy was the cause. But the doctors\u2019 findings were clear. She was neither poisoned nor harmed\u2014what the medical tests showed is what we must accept,\u201d Bikem emphasized, while thanking the Rwandan Embassy in Uganda for supporting both the medical examinations and the repatriation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gogo, who passed away on the night of September 3, 2025, will be laid to rest on Monday, September 8, in her home district of Rwamagana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
