The father of the late 24-year-old girl, Sampson Sekidika, had told PUNCH Metro that his daughter died at the Paragon Clinics and Image Diagnosis in Port Harcourt during a procedure by a team of medical workers on her on February 2, 2024.
As early as 6:30 a.m., family members, relatives, friends and mourners dressed in black trooped to the Military Hospital in Port Harcourt where her body was deposited to be retrieved for burial.
Her body arrived at the ‘Vaults and Gardens’ a private section of the Port Harcourt Cemetery where a brief funeral service presided over by Bishop Chris Ebata was conducted as the deceased’s younger sibling, Josephine, said the first reading from the book of Thessalonians chapter 4: 13 to 15.
In his exhortation, the cleric made a veiled reference to the circumstances that might have culminated in Rebekah’s demise, saying, “We are praying also that those human errors should be corrected in Nigeria.”
He rounded off with prayers for God to give the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, describing death as a necessary end everyone would bow to at some point in their lives.
