A few days ago, the Nigerian community in Las Vegas, United
States issued a statement appealing for the release of the body of the late
singer Kefee, who died on June 13 from lung failure after 15 days in a coma at
Desert Spring Hospital, Las Vegas.
A statement signed by its president, Festus Ebonka read, “We
appeal to Nigerians to help take her remains back home. Lots of protocols here
and there to follow. It’s not a simple process. Her husband is devastated and
not ready to speak yet.”
Apparently responding to the plea, the Governor of Delta
State, Emmanuel Uduaghan has foot the bills the late singer accumulated during
her stay in the hospital and every other bill needed for the return of her
corpse to Nigeria.
Meanwhile Kefee’s husband, Don-Momoh in a release signed by
his publicist, Chilee Agunanna, has said he would have to return home to
Nigeria first and be on ground to receive the body of his wife.
Teddy said that Kefee’s family had requested that she be
buried in her hometown, Okpara-Inland, Ethiope East Local Government, Delta
State with a celebratory service in Sapele afterwards.
Those, according to him, are the only definite arrangements
for his late wife’s burial so far.
