Halima Hassan, mother of the late BBNaija’s star, Patrick Fakoya aka Rico Swavey, has said whatever steps she takes to immortalise him will not bring him back
This is as she pleaded with authorities and hospitals to be more proactive and humane in their dealings.
Rico Swavey died on October 13, 2022, after involving in an auto accident on October 11, 2022.
Halima, who spoke during the unveiling of a foundation in his name, said she was really sad seeing her son in his final state because no one wants to bury their own child.

She appealed to hospitals to first put the issue of money aside first and attend to patients at point of death.
She also pleaded with the government to fix terrible roads in order to avoid future accidents.
“I wasn’t happy when I saw him.
No one would want to bury their children while they are still here.
Unfortunately, it happened to me and I will use this to appeal to the government and the hospitals.
All I’m doing will not bring Rico back. It’s just for the future.
“For the hospitals, any accident, trauma accidents like Rico’s, they should put money aside and treat the person first.
I don’t wish this on anybody.
And they should try to do the roads, the roads are terrible.
Even if it’s the street lights, whatever they can do, to help the young ones.
“We all have young people moving here and there, hustling for their lives.
“We don’t want anything to happen to them.”
