The family of late singer Ifunanya Nwangene, widely known as Nanyah, has released details of her burial arrangements following her passing on January 31, 2026.
Nanyah reportedly died after suffering a snake bite at her residence in Abuja. She was immediately taken to a hospital for medical attention but sadly did not survive.
Her brother, Kingsley Nwangene, made the announcement on Instagram via his handle, @official_kaybaba1, where he shared her obituary and paid a brief tribute, writing, “Till I see you again.”
According to the family, a service of songs will hold on February 10, 2026, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Abule Oshun, Dansa, Lagos, starting at 4 p.m., after which a requiem mass will take place at the same venue by 6 p.m.
