Not one person among the many friends and acquaintances of Rico Swavey could hold back tears yesterday as they gathered at the late reality star’s night of tributes.

Held at Retro City, Victoria Island, Lagos, most of those who became his friends during their days at the Big Brother Naija house were on ground to pay their last respects even as they lamented bitterly the loss of not just a friend but a true brother who will remain close to their hearts.

As tributes began to pour in, the mood became pensive as friends and family of the deceased who died after as a result of injuries sustained in an auto accident let out their emotions, resting on one another’s shoulders for consolation.

One of Rico’s friends, Anto Lecky couldn’t hide her emotions as she wept uncontrollably, opening the floodgate of tears that soon engulfed the entire venue filled with sympathisers from different parts of Lagos and beyond.
