After her unfortunate and untimely demise, there were controversies concerning how several of her colleagues in the music industry who abandoned her while she needed help took to their various social pages to eulogize and send condolence messages.
However, there is a new disturbing update to the story according to Netng. It was made known that in preparation for the one year anniversary of her death, a visit was paid to the Ikoyi Cemetery, Lagos where Zara was buried on Thursday, March 19, 2015, and there were various shocking discoveries made.

After getting the details of the actual place her remains were interred, an extensive search of the cemetery records and register revealed that Zara Gretti was indeed, buried at the Ikoyi Cemetery on Friday, April 4, 2014. The register made it known that her grave was in Section five of the cemetery.
However, the curiosity of the Netng person (visitor) who went there to make enquiries came to forefront when the mortuary attendant, ( also identified as the secretary of the facility) asked the visitor absent-mindedly: ‘Do you know if this was the third or fourth time that particular grave was used?’ The visitor’s quick response was that he was not around when the late singer was brought for burial; hence there was no way he could know about that.
When the register had confirmed that she was indeed buried at the cemetery, the visitor to the mortuary and the attendant proceeded to the grounds. On getting to the area identified as Section Five by the official, it was shocking to find out that Zara’s tomb could not be found even after 2 hours search!
Upon insisting on seeing the tomb, the continued search proved fruitless. In a straightforward manner, according to Netng, it is authoritative that Zara Gretti’s grave is missing. However, when the mortuary official saw the outcome of events, the official was quick to deny that any such thing ever happens at all. ‘We don’t ever use a grave for another corpse once someone has been buried there,’ he said, forgetting that he had said something quite contrary earlier.

The official took the vistor’s phone number, promising to call him when he eventually locates the grave. He is yet to do so as at press time. This development raises some disturbing questions. Do cemetery officials actually exhume bodies of buried people at the cemeteries without duly informing the deceased’s family or getting their approval? What has become of Zara’s grave at Ikoyi Cemetery just one year after she was buried there?… These and many more questions are hanging awaiting answers.
