Snakebite kills gospel singer
In a related development, K24 Digital reported that fast-rising Nigerian gospel singer Ifunanya Nwangene, who died on January 31, 2026, after a snake slithered into her bedroom in Abuja and bit her, was laid to rest in a deeply emotional ceremony.
In a video shared on TikTok, Ifunanya’s white casket is seen placed on a raised platform adorned with neatly arranged flowers, as mourners took turns bowing before it while the burial ceremony began.
After the church service, the casket was placed into a hearse and proceeded to her hometown of Nkanu East in Abuja, where a shallow grave had been prepared ahead of the final rites.
Her white casket was then lowered slowly as men who had positioned themselves inside the grave waited to receive it from those on the ground and lay it carefully and respectfully in its resting place.
