Late Nollywood Makeup Artist, Abigail Frederick Buried In Her Home Town After Body Was Exhumed From River Bank


Late  Nollywood makeup artist, Abigail Frederick, was laid to rest in her hometown of Ikot Udoma, Eket Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State on Monday

She was one of the five film practitioners, including Junior Pope, who tragically lost their lives in a boat accident on the River Niger last week. 

The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, had instructed that her body be brought back to the state for a proper burial after she was initially buried by the riverbank. 
The residents of River Niger had declined to release her body until the conditions for the sacrifice were fulfilled, or else she would be laid to rest on the river bank as custom demans. 

She was buried in the presence of her father, which was believed  the deity's requirements had not been satisfied. It was only when the governor intervened that the situation changed.

Following the governor's directive, her body was exhumed on Sunday, April 14. A candle-light procession was also held in her honor. 
According to the PUCH, the funeral service, conducted by the Church of Christ in Ikot Udoma, was attended by various dignitaries, including the Eket Transition Committee Chairman, Akaniyene Tommey, Commissioner for Tourism, Charles Udoh, SA on Entertainment, Moses Eskor, Godfada Uko, members of the Eket Transition Committee, Nollywood actress, Eve Esin, the Nollywood community, friends, and sympathizers.

Following his release from prison for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced former Paralympian track star, has resurfaced after eight years.  Now 37 years old, Pistorius served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013. During his trial, Pistorius claimed that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar when he fired shots through a closed bathroom door in the middle of the night. However, prosecutors argued that he knew it was Steenkamp on the other side because they had just had an argument, and he witnessed her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. Recently, images captured by South African news site Netwerk24 show Pistorius with a wide grin on his face, but he appears a mere shadow of his former self. His hair has turned fully gray, and he is noticeably thinner compared to his previous weight gain during his time in prison. Since his release in January, Pistorius
