'This is very insensitive' – Nigerians drag BBNaija stars for drinking shortly after Rico’s service of songs

Opinions are divided on social media after the emergence of a video of ex-Big Brother Naija stars drinking at the service of songs and a night of tribute for the late housemate, Patrick Fakoya who is also known as Rico Swavey

The event was held on the evening of Thursday, October 19.

The 29-year-old died on Thursday, October 13 from injuries he sustained from a motor accident he was involved in.

Dorathy took to her Twitter page to share a video of herself and her fellow stars singing, possibly smoking and holding up their glasses to celebrate Rico’s life.

She captioned the video: "We love you Rico"

percy_black commented: I see no reason why they should celebrate his death… he was way too young, he died a horrible death.
