The management of late Big Brother Naija season 3 housemate, Rico Swavey has broken their silence on his death.
The reality star passed on to glory on Thursday morning, October 13 following injuries sustained from a ghastly motor accident. His car accident was made public by Alex Unusual while his death was announced by his co-star, Tobi Bakre.
Following his death, a lot of narratives on the cause of his death have made the rounds on social media.
Doren hospital, where he was taken for treatment, claimed that the deceased was drunk as he smelt of alcohol when he was brought to the hospital.
Addressing the lingering rumours, his management debunked them, with claims that majority are false.
According to them, many influencers have been paid to promote certain narratives.
His management promised to share detailed information on the circumstances surrounding Rico’s accident, treatment and passing.
Rico’s management urged his fans to keep his family in prayers and to continue the spirit of warmth and fellowship.
They also promised to announce his burial arrangements. The statement read:
