Patrick Fakoya, popularly known as Rico Swavey died on Thursday after suffering fatal injuries sustained from a car crash. The reality star was reportedly unresponsive prior to demise which was announced by BBNaija star Tobi Bakre.
This is not the first time a celebrity’s death would be attributed to the negligence of health workers and a failed healthcare system in Nigeria.
In April 2022, Yoruba actor, Remi Shitta-Bey, made a video insisting that the general hospital in Ikorodu had a part to play in the demise of comic actor Kunle Adetokunbo, better known as Dejo Tunfulu.
