“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.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, the body of the late ex-governor of Ondo State will be laid to rest today at
his home town in Iju-Odo, Okitipupa LGA of Ondo State. The St. Paul’s Anglican
Church, Iju-Odo has been renovated for the burial service while major roads
leading into the town has also been rehabilitated.
The grave where Agagu will be buried in
the church cemetery has also been decorated to give him a befitting farewell.
