Onyeka Onwenu's Final Wishes Fulfilled by Her Sons as She's Quietly Buried in Lagos today
The legendary Nigerian icon, Onyeka Onwenu, is quietly buried in Lagos today, as her sons honor her final wish for a private and simple farewell.
In accordance with her wishes, the funeral of renowned Nigerian singer and actress Onyeka Onwenu is taking place today in Lagos. Her sons have respected her request for a quick, quiet, and private ceremony.
According to reports from CKN News, a modest service is scheduled at the Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, followed by a private interment at a vault in Ikoyi.
Until CKN News broke the story that she was being laid to rest today in Lagos, the Nigerian entertainment, movie, social, and political sectors, where she was a prominent figure during her lifetime, were unaware of her funeral plans.
Shortly after her 70th birthday in January 2022, Onyeka Onwenu shared her wishes with her family, specifying how she wanted her funeral rites conducted. She had emphasized a simple and private ceremony, followed by a modest gathering where friends and loved ones could share fond memories and celebrate her life.
