Majek Fashek’s Family Seeks Financial Support To Bring Corpse To Nigeria For Burial

The family of late reggae icon, Majekodunmi Fasheke, famously known as Majek Fashek, has called on the public to assist financially, in order to bring his corpse to Nigeria for burial.
Agbonayinma Johnson, former member of the house of representatives, music enthusiast and owner of U&I Records, made the announcement on behalf of Fashek’s family, according to Within Nigeria.
He pleaded that Fashek, whom he referred to as pride of Africa, should not to be buried like an ordinary person.
He said: “With the support of the family and the children, we are looking at how we can bring him to Nigeria to be buried here. This is going to cost quite a lot of money, especially with the challenge of COVID-19. So, we are trying to raise fund.
“The only account we have right now to be donated to is the senior son’s account, Randy. Making this public is not my decision alone, some people came and said we should set this up.
“They said we should set up account in America and Nigeria. We want him to be buried here in Nigeria, his fatherland and not in some foreign land like a chicken.
“In Nigeria, we are still trying to decide which account to use but the American account of the first son is ready and people are already paying into it. I must commend the response has been encouraging but we need more fund.”
He added that a committee will be in charge of setting up an account in Nigeria.
Fashek died in the United States of America on June 1, 2020, at the age of 57, after battling an unknown illness for years.
