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,
