Memorial Service for Christy Essien - Igbokwe Holds on 1st July




The family of Christy Essien-Igbokwe will be honouring the late singer with a memorial service to mark one year after her departure.

It is rather for us a sober moment to reunite with her in faith and spirit as our family always did together while she was here with us, and time to glorify God who had admitted her into His place of Eternal Peace in Heaven. That is the path me and Christy’s (biological) four sons have thought we should rather go for the commemoration of her one year of transition to eternal glory’, Edwin Igbokwe, Christy’s husband said in a statement.

The service, which will hold on Sunday July 1, 2012, at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church Cathedral, Ikeja, is expected to be attended by family and close friends.
The diva passed away on June 30 2011, after a brief illness. She was laid to rest in a reserved ground by the new Anambra Government House in Awka, Anambra State, on Saturday, September 10, 2011.
