His interment was preceded by a funeral service at the Methodist Church of the Trinity, Tinubu Square.
The demise of the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate went viral on 13 October, few days after he was involved in a ghastly car accident.
His management had, before his death, announced that he was on life support, which was confirmed by some reality stars, Alex Unusual, Bam Bam and Tobi Bakre.
This was shortly after a fundraiser was launched in his name to facilitate his treatment.
A heated backlash had trailed some nurses in the hospital where Swavey died after footage of his last moments surfaced on social media.
Some of his fans had accused the staff of Doren Specialist Hospital in Lagos of recording the footage but the facility dismissed the allegations.
In the wake of the controversies trailing his death, the Lagos government announced it has commenced an investigation into the matter.
