Late Kefee (Irikefe Don-Momoh, nee
Obareki) was given a queen's burial on Friday July 11th in her hometown,
Okpara Inland, Ethiope-East LGA, Sapele, Delta.
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.
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.
