WITHIN NIGERIA earlier reported that Rico was involved in a ghastly accident and rushed to an undisclosed hospital where he is currently battling for his life.

Fellow reality star Alex Unusual disclosed the sad news in a Twitter post on Tuesday, calling for prayers. Alex tweeted:

“Good morning sweethearts. Please put @iamricoswavey in your prayers today. He was involved in a ghastly accident hours ago and the doctors are still trying to resuscitate him as I just left the hospital. It’s really critical. I’m staying positive.”

“God forbid bad thing. Where exactly did you hear this your news from biko? I reject it. He is not stable yet but he is very much alive. Kindly take down this tweet. God bless you.”

Born Patrick Fakoya, Rico Swavey contested in the third edition of the reality show in 2018.
