The planned burial of Late Dr. Olusegun
Agagu, the erstwhile governor of Ondo
State, will go ahead today despite the
unfortunate air mishap on Thursday that
claimed no fewer than 15 lives when his
remains were being flown in an Associated Airline aircraft from Lagos to Akure. This was disclosed by Chairman of the
Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo
State, Ebenezer Alabi, who said after
consulting with the former governor’s
family, they have “decided to go ahead with
the burial. Moreso, he said, that Agagu’s first son, Feyi
and his son-in-law survived the plane crash.
“There was no scratch on the casket,” Mr.
Alabi added. “So, while the family sympathized with
those that lost their lives and their loved
ones, they have decided to go ahead with
the burial as was initially planned”, the PDP
chairman reiterated. Meanwhile, the remains of the former
governor, which was still intact despite the
plane crash, has been conveyed by road to
Iju-Odo, his country home and final place of
rest.
