ONDO TRAGEDY UPDATES ... AKURE MOURNS : Agagu’s Burial Holds Today Despite Air Crash And Deaths ... ADIEU AGAGU.

The remains of former governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, will be committed to mother earth today as planned, despite the loss of lives in the crash of the aircraft conveying the former governor’s corpse to Akure, Ondo State capital.
Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo State, Ebenezer Alabi, said: “We just consulted with the family and have decided to go ahead with the burial.
“More so, the son of the former governor survived and the son-in-law survived. There was no scratch on the casket.
“So while the family sympathised with those that lost their lives and their loved ones, they have decided to go ahead with the burial as was initially planned.”
Also, the body of the former governor, which was still intact despite the plane crash, is in transit to Iju-Odo, his country home and final place of rest.

It was gathered that the family of late Agagu in Iju-Odo had ordered that his remains be conveyed to his home town, yesterday, by road to continue with the burial arrangement, which a family source will be done as planned.
11 persons, including a Commissioner in the state, Deji Falae, top government officials and the crew lost their lives in the crash which happened at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos.
Meanwhile, Mrs Olufunke Agagu, wife of late former Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, and her daughters, Solape and Omowunmi, have relocated to Iju-Odo in Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state for today’s burial of the ex-governor.
It was gathered that the wife of the former governor insisted that burial arrangements of her late husband will take place as earlier scheduled. A family source said Mrs Agagu insisted that burial plans should go ahead after she confirmed and spoke with her son (Feyi) and son in-law, who were involved in the crash.
The Christian wake-keep was held as scheduled, yesterday, while the body will be interred today.
