By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
In a tragic turn of events, the 02 Academy Brixton concert by Nigerian singer Asake ended in a deadly crush that claimed the life of a young mother of two, Rebecca Ikumelo. But now, after months of waiting, the late Rebecca has finally been laid to rest.
The 33-year-old was fatally injured when a large crowd of concert-goers tried to enter the venue on December 15, 2022. It was a devastating loss that left her family and friends heartbroken.
During the burial ceremony held on Friday, Rebecca’s family expressed their anguish over the long delay in releasing her body by the coroner. It took more than three months before they could finally say their goodbyes to their beloved daughter and sister.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the family and friends of the late Rebecca are hoping for justice. The police investigation is set to conclude next month, but the memory of Rebecca and the pain of her loss will never be forgotten.
