RUTH MATETE REFUSES TO PAY HUSBAND’S MORTUARY FEES WANTS NIGERIAN EMBASSY TO FOOT THE BILL

Celebrated gospel singer Ruth Matete will not be paying her husband’s mortuary fees.

The singer has accused the Nigerian High Commission in Nairobi for delaying the burial of her late husband, Pastor John Apewajoye.

According to Ruth’s lawyer she has been fundraising to pay for two hospital bills at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH)and Beleview Hospital where Apewajoye was being treated.

Matete is not able to pay the accruing morgue fees at KNH where her husband’s body has been kept since his passing in April 11.

Through her lawyer Robert Odanga, he told Buzz Central, “Our client is done. She has had enough and she is fed up with Nigerian High Commission Nairobi office and how sadistic they treat her.

Our client understands she has the option to go to court and have the matter resolved but she will not be taking that option.

She was never fighting to bury the body in Kenya, she just wanted to finish the process and move on with her life. Where the body would be buried was always the decision of the family of the deceased in Nigeria.”

“Our client is no longer interested in the body of the diseased and will not lay a claim on the same.  She will not be paying any morgue fees whatsoever.

Our client will not be held hostage by anyone in regard to the subject matter. Our client should not be contacted by anyone whatsoever in regard to the burial of the diseased as she plans to move on,” added Odanga.
