It's a big loss to Team Eternity

Sharing his thoughts on the sad incident, Music In Africa editor, Gabriel Myers Hansen, feared that Nhyira's passing may affect the group's fortunes.

According to him, the group had only gained mainstream attention a few months ago and should be performing more to sustain the traction.

"The death of Nhyira might derail them because, in our setting, it will be insensitive for them to go about their activities as if nothing happened. They may have to hold on and mourn their colleague before resuming their gigs. If it takes too long for them to resume, I fear the fans they have amassed will dissipate and move on," he told YEN.com.gh.
