A certain commenter who claims to be Kefee's elder brother, Obareki Kevin, called me out yesterday for the "Kefee's corpse arrives Nigeria" post.
"Kemi,you just a fool posting stories that are false just to get traffic on your stupid blog..You called claiming to be a friend and next thing you publish reports given in confidence.Now what corpse was received ehn, idiot?Pray you don't meet calamity" he said.
Just so you know, I didn't call Kefee's brother to get any info. whatsoever, so whoever you are, you probably spoke to the wrong KEMI and No, kemifilani.com is not a stupid blog :)....NET initially broke the news yester-morning and that's where I got the info. from!Anyways, contrary to reports that Kefee’s body arrived Nigeria on Tuesday, June 17, her Nigerian publicist has divulged that her body is still in a mortuary in Las Vegas, USA.
Justifying the Publicist’s claim, Nigerian community in Las Vegas have issued a statement, appealing for the release of the body of the late singer.
The statement signed by its president, Mr Festus Ebonka, reads thus: “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. ”
Kefee died on June 13 from lungs failure after 15 days in coma at Desert Spring Hospital, Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, a celebration of life and memorial service will hold today in California.
May her beautiful soul rest in perfect peace, amen!
