Nanyah's neighbour shares observation after her death
Okoli Oluebube Chukwu, who lived close to the vocalist, reflected on the tragedy and the community response to the young artist's passing.
According to her account, mourners gathered at the residence of the late singer's parents to offer condolences following news of her death.
"Yesterday, people gathered at her parents' residence to offer condolences to her family, her parents and her only brother," Chukwu wrote on her Facebook page. "It's truly unfortunate, but I believe she's in a better place. RIP Nanyah_music. It is well."
In her Facebook post, Chukwu also reflected on how the singer's profile had risen dramatically following her death, noting she had not visited Nanyah's social media page while she was alive despite living in the same area.
"Why do people gain popularity after they pass away? We had a talented star in my neighbourhood whose page I had never visited. She possessed an exceptionally beautiful voice that has now been silenced by death."
In the comments section of her post, Chukwu also shared additional troubling details about the incident.
"She was reportedly bitten by more than one snake. This is so painful. Throughout yesterday, I felt the story could be different, but it's not reality. Rest on, dear," she added.
