Adijat Kuburat, mother of Fuji musician Wasiu Alabi aka Pasuma, has been laid to rest in Lagos State.
Mrs Kuburat aka Iyawo Anobi was buried on Friday morning. She was laid to rest after funeral prayers.
Pasuma was dressed in a blue attire and a white cap for the funeral.
The singer, while his mother’s remains were being lowered to the ground, put his hands on his chin and muttered some words.
Pasuma announced the death of his mother on Thursday via his Instagram account.
The singer shared a photo of himself and mum and wrote: “My jewel, I will miss you forever! Words fail me. Rest in power and peace, please watch over me from heaven.”
The post generated more than 3,500 comments in an hour.
Born in Mushin in Lagos State, Pasuma grew up in Kwara State and started writing songs in 1984.
The music prodigy, who rose from a humble background to a renowned performer, actor and businessman, was raised by his mother after she separated from her husband.
Musicians Saheed Osupa, KS1 Malaika and Shefiu Alao joined many in the entertainment industry in mourning Pasuma’s mother.
Saheed, who is also bereaved following the loss of his saxophonist Sule Sax, prayed that Allah would forgive her shortcomings.
He also prayed that Allah would be with Pasuma.
Last year, Pasuma celebrated two special women in his life. He shared a photo of his aged mother and his daughter, wishing them happy birthday celebrations.
“Happy birthday my golden mother Alhaja Adijat kuburat (Iyawo Anobi)and delectable and sexy Navy Daughter(Opeyemi khadijat). More Calendar to tear off insha ALLAHU Amin,” he wrote.
