Family of late Reggae icon Majek Fashek has called on the public to render financial assistance to fly the singer back to Nigeria for a befitting burial.

Majekodunmi Fashek, famously known as Majek Fasheke died in the United States of America on June 1, 2020.

Former member of the House of Representatives, representing Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency in Edo state, music enthusiast and owner of U&I Records, Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma made the plea on behalf of the family.

Agbonayinma pleaded saying;

With the support of the family, 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.

He explained;

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.

Agbonayinma added that a committee is being set up to take charge of managing the Nigerian account.

He reiterated that;

In the meantime, people can pay to the American account of the son. We just have to bring Majek home for proper burial.
