Nigeria has bid farewell to its iconic musician, songwriter, and activist, Onyeka Onwenu, affectionately known as the “Elegant Stallion.” The legendary artist was laid to rest in a solemn ceremony in Lagos.
The funeral service took place earlier today at the Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, followed by a private burial at a vault in Ikoyi.
Among those present to honor her memory were Labour Party Presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi and Governor Alex Otti, along with other notable dignitaries.
Onwenu passed away a few weeks ago after collapsing during a birthday celebration in Lagos, shortly after performing.
May her soul rest in peace, and may we all find the strength to bear this great loss.
