“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.
