I still talk to him everyday even though he is dead - Rico Swavey’s mom

#WithChude

When Rico Swavey - #BBNaija contestant and singer - died in a motor accident in October 2022, the nation was in shock. He was well loved.

His mother, Halima Hassan watched him die in her own arms in a Lekki hospital - asking the doctors to leave her with his corpse as she begged him to come back to her.

Months after, as friends and family watched her walk the streets aimlessly, unable to cope with the loss of her son, she had to check into a mental facility.

He was the second son of hers to die while she was alive.

In this exclusive interview, on the second anniversary of Rico’s passions, she joins me to talk about the premonition she had of his death, his last days and his last moments - and how behind the scenes, her son struggled to get his colleagues to support his music.

She also talks about how she survived the loss and found her way back to mental and emotional recovery.

Then, she shares with me Rico’s unfinished business - and the solemn promise she made to him as she cradled him in her arms for the last time.

This episode will move you.
