396

David Adebayo

The final burial rites of Reality TV star, Patrick Adebowale Fakoya, also known as Rico Swavey, begins tomorrow, October 19 with a candlelight and night of tribute at Gafari Animashaun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

According to a statement obtained by Per Seconds News on Tuesday morning as released by his friend, Alex Unusual, Swavey, who died last week Thursday days after a fatal car crash will be buried at Ebony Vaults, Ikoyi Lagos.

It will be preceded by a private church service in the morning.

Many of his friends and colleagues said they were yet to come to terms with the reality of Swavey’s death as one of them said he died with his “unfulfilled dreams” of a music project and lofty ideas.

Colleagues and family members of the soft-spoken TV star are expected to pay their last respects to Swavey on Wednesday and Thursday.

Fakoya, whose remains will be interred immediately after the church service, is survived by his parent and siblings.
