Funsho Arogundade
Hundreds of family members, friends and colleagues stormed Okpara-Inland in Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State where the remains of the late Pop-Gospel singer, Kefee (Irikefe Don-Momoh nee Obareki), was laid to rest today Friday, 11 July.
The funeral rites, which began with a Candlelight/Service Of Songs last night at Oba Akezua Cultural Centre, Airport Road, Benin City, Edo State, peaked with a homegoing service/interment at Akpevweoghene Educational Centre, Open Field, also in Okpara Inland.
As at the press time, a celebration of life that has thousands of late Kefee’s colleagues in the entertainment industry was on at the Events Galleria, Okirigwe Junction by MFM, Sapele, Delta State.
A condolence team consisting of Kefee’s friends such as Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye, Annie Ibrahim, Gordons, Princess, Linda Etukudo and Chilee Aguanana, had visited Kefee’s family last week.
Okposo, who spoke on behalf of the team, commiserated with the family and told them of the impact their deceased daughter made on the entertainment industry in her very short, but eventful life.
“Kefee brought peace, happiness and love to the world. Even we are heartbroken over her death. We will be comforted by the fact that God knows best and we cannot question him,” he said.
Kefee died on 13 June in the United States of America.
