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.
