The management of late Big Brother Naija season 3 housemate, Patrick Fakoya (Rico Swavey) has broken their silence on his death.

The reality star died on Thursday morning; October 13 following injuries sustained from a ghastly motor accident. His car accident was made public by Alex Unusual while his death was announced by his co-star, Tobi Bakre.

Following his death, a lot of narratives on the cause of his death have made the rounds on social media.
