The entire family was among the 153 passengers and crew who died in
the crash of a Dana Air flight from Abuja-Lagos as it made to land at
the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
Instead, it crashed into four buildings in Iju Ishaga, on the outskirts of Lagos.
At
the burial service at St. Lawrence Anglican Church, schoolchildren,
family members, friends and the people of Ndiowu gathered to pay their
last respects to the departed before they were buried.
Reports said tears flowed freely at the lying-in-state as well as the funeral service.
Their
remains were conveyed to the church in six caskets, evoking painful
memories from those who knew them closely. Ahead of the funeral rites, a
grave measuring 14x10ft has been prepared in which the family of six
will be buried at their residence in Ndiowu.
