Agagu’s family to go
ahead with his burial today
Despite
the great tragedy that occurred yesterday, where the plane carrying Agagu's
corpse crashed and killed 15 people, members of the late governor's family have
insisted that they will go ahead with his burial. The Chairman of Ondo State
PDP, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi, made this known yesterday.
“We
have just consulted with the family and it has been decided that they would go
ahead with the burial. This is more so that his
son, and son-in-law survived the crash. We are also aware that the
casket bearing Agagu’s body was not affected by the crash. While we sympathise with the families of those who lost their loved ones
in the crash, we will go ahead
with the burial.” He said
Agagu
will be buried today at his home town in Iju-Odo, Okitipupa LGA of Ondo state.
St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Iju-Odo has been and renovated for the burial
service while major roads leading into the town had been rehabilitated.
The grave where Agagu will be buried
in the church cemetery has also
been decorated to give him a befitting farewell, News Agency of Nigeria
reports. See more photos after the cut...
