The remains of the tardy popular gospel singer, Kefee, were conclusively laid to repose in her home town, Okpara Inland of Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State on Friday, as so many people could not control their emotions.
Most of the mourners, dressed in ebony tee-shirts with Kefee’s picture printed on them, carried placards and posters of the tardy singer as they trooped to the burial site.
Afore the interment, a homecoming accommodation was held in her accolade at Akpevweoghene Educational Centre, Okpara Inland of Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State where family, colleagues, friends and fans amassed to pay their last veneration to the tardy singer.
Her remains, in a white casket, were first taken to one of the classrooms in the school where some pastors prayed for the repose of her soul. Thereafter, the casket was brought to an open field for the lying in state ceremony afore she was buried.
Saturday PUNCH amassed that her widower, Teddy Don-Momoh, dressed in white attire, couldn’t verbalize much all through the ceremony as tears kept rolling down his ocular perceivers. Our correspondent learnt that her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Obareki, stayed away from the burial as their custom injuctively authorized that parents should not visually perceive the corpse of their children.
Some Nigerian entertainers who travelled to Delta State for the burial ceremony include Tony Okoroji, Daddy Showkey, Azzezat, Aity, I go dye, Princess and Nikky Laoye.
Born Irikefe Obareki, Kefee passed on in the United States of America last June after being in a coma in an undisclosed hospital for few weeks.
Kefee would be recollected for her popular musical composition, Branama and Kokoroko, which earned her so many awards.
Previously espoused to a music director, Alec Godwin, Kefee got espoused again to a Lagos-predicated on-air-personality with Star FM, Teddy Don-Momoh, in 2012.
