Encomium.ng is reporting that the Ekiti State Government aborted at the last minute a Burial scheduled for 4pm in honor of Late Nollywood Actress, Moji Olaiya in Canada.


Read The Report Below;

The burial of Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya, earlier scheduled for 4 pm today (Friday, May 19, 2017) in Canada, was aborted at the last minute by Ekiti state government.

The remains of the 42 year old mother of two daughters who died of cardiac arrest following childbirth complications on Thursday, May 18, in Canada, will now be ferried to Nigeria for burial.

Insiders at the Magodo home of the actress (in Kosofe local council area of Lagos) revealed that the government of Ekiti volunteered to bankroll the shipment of the corpse to Nigeria.

Earlier, the family and her colleagues had agreed that Moji Olaiya should be buried in Canada as Islam enjoins (with deceased buried not later than the second day after death) at 4 pm today.

But the plans changed with the intervention of Ekiti state (where the actress is from).

Her eldest daughter, Adunola, had insisted that her mother’s corpse should be brought back to Nigeria. But she was persuaded to allow the Canada funeral today.

Moji Olaiya’s Abuja based Alhaji husband and father of her two month old baby, who arrived Lagos yesterday, also acceded to the Thursday burial.

But with Ekiti state intervention, all will await the corpse which will land here by the weekend…
