Before her passing, iconic musician and actress, Onyeka Onwenu had expressed her final wishes regarding her burial.

In January 2022, shortly after celebrating her 70th birthday, Onwenu made it clear to her family that she desired a simple and intimate farewell.

She requested that her burial be carried out swiftly, without fanfare, and in private, away from public attention.

“I’ve told my family how I want to be buried. Do it quickly, quietly, and privately. Celebrate me with prayers, lunch or dinner afterwards.

Sadly, Onyeka Onwenu passed away this morning in Lagos at the age of 72, shortly after performing at a birthday event.

Until her passing, she remained passionate about her home state, Imo, and spoke out against the rising insecurity that threatened its peaceful and hospitality reputation.
