Kefee buried amid tears

The remains of the late popular gospel singer, Kefee, were finally laid to rest 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 black tee-shirts with Kefee’s picture printed on them, carried placards and posters of the late singer as they trooped to the burial site. Before the interment, a homecoming service was held in her honour at Akpevweoghene Educational Centre, Okpara Inland of Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State where family, colleagues, friends and fans gathered to pay their last respect to the late 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 before she was buried. Saturday PUNCHgathered that her widower, Teddy Don-Momoh, dressed in white attire, couldn’t say much all through the ceremony as tears kept rolling down his eyes. Our correspondent learnt that her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Obareki, stayed away from the burial as their custom demanded that parents should not see the corpse of their children.
