Patrick Fakoya, also known as Rico Swavey, a former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality TV star, was buried on Thursday in Lagos amidst eulogies.
The preacher during the funeral service at the Methodist Church of the Trinity in Tinubu Square said, “The Lord gives and the Lord taketh,” as he consoled the grieving family.
The roommate from season three passed away at the age of 30 after being involved in a horrifying vehicle accident that kept him on life support from October 11 to October 13 of 2022.
Swavey was laid to rest in the Ebony Vaults in Ikoyi, Lagos, amid cries from friends and family.
The majority of the BBNaija cast members, including Alex Unusual, Uriel Oputa, Efe Money, Ifu Ennada, K Brule, BamBam, Dorathy, and show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, were present at the burial.
