As at the press time, a celebration of life that has thousands of late Kefee’s colleagues in the entertainment industry was on at the Events Galleria, Okirigwe Junction by MFM, Sapele, Delta State.

A condolence team consisting of Kefee’s friends such as Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye, Annie Ibrahim, Gordons, Princess, Linda Etukudo and Chilee Aguanana, had visited Kefee’s family last week.

Okposo, who spoke on behalf of the team, commiserated with the family and told them of the impact their deceased daughter made on the entertainment industry in her very short, but eventful life.

Kefee died on 13 June in the United States of America.
