The whole town ground to a standstill as the body of their late daughter arrived Akpevwoghene Educational Centre, Okpara Inland, around noon in a white SUV with ‘Omega 1’ as the plate number.
She was also in a white casket and was laid in state in the
middle of the school’s football field while friends and family paid their last
respects. The casket was not immediately opened to the public but a funeral
service was held in her honour while Sammie Okposo, his band and other gospel
artists took turns on the stage set up at the venue. Continue...
The husband, Teddy, clad in white had arrived earlier and
received the body along with members of Kefee’s family. The first took her into
one of the classrooms and said some prayers before taking the body to the
centre of the field.
A number of entertainers like DJ Gosporella, I Go Dye, Linda
Etukudo, Nene SoulDiva, Anny Ibrahim, Princess, Aity Dennis, Daddy Showkey, Tosin
Martins and Nikki Laoye were present at the funeral.
After the service, the body was then transported to the
burial site nearby where a beautiful mausoleum had been erected and buried
amidst tears from friends and well-wishers.
The parents, out of custom, were forbidden to either witness
the funeral service or see the dead body of their child.
