4. KEFEE OBAREKI DON MOMOH
Nigeria’s political history has no fond memories of June 12. On that day and month in 1993, the election believed till date to be the freest and fairest ever in the country was held. Won by Moshood Abiola, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), it was annulled by Ibrahim Babangida, the head of state.
Fast forward by exactly 21 years and the entertainment industry would never wish for such day again. On June 12, 2014, gospel singer Kefee Obareki died, and more painfully, with a pregnancy.
Keffe had collapsed on May 29, during a flight to Chicago, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles in order to get medical attention. She was in coma for two weeks, but eventually died, owing to what her manager, Adeline Adelicious Adebayo, said was “lungs failure”.
