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.
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.
Some Nigerian entertainers who traveled
to Delta State for the burial ceremony include Tony Okoroji, Daddy Showkey,Azzezat,Aity, Igo dye, Princess and Nikk laoye

Born Irikefe Obareki, Kefee passed on in
the United States of America last June after being in a coma in an
undisclosed hospital for few weeks.
Kefee would be remembered for her popular song, Branama and Kokoroko, which earned her so many awards.
Previously married to a music director,
Alec Godwin, Kefee got married again to a Lagos-based on-air-personality
with Star FM, Teddy Don-Momoh, in 2012.
