The Association of Undertakers in Lagos are of the opinion that the Agagu family were insensitive to their plight by going ahead with the burial of the former governor. In an interview with Mr Deinde Harrison, the boss of Ebony Caskets & Funeral Managers, he told Encomium the association's anger with the Agagu family. Read the interview after the cut...
What happened between your association and the late Olusegun Agagu family over the burial?
DH: After the plane crash incident, they approached about three of us undertakers. Before they approached us, we had heard that they were going ahead with the burial and we felt slighted. We felt that if any member of the Agagu family had perished in the air crash, I am sure they would have postponed the burial. Somebody that was helping them to give their father a befitting burial did not only loose his life but that of his son and four members of his staff and yet they were behaving as if nothing happened. That was why we felt it was a slap on our face, therefore we weren't going to participate in the burial.
