There is a report that the body of late actress Moji Olaiya is still in a funeral home in Canada.
The actress' close friend, Yomi Fabiyi, took to Instagram on May 25, 2017, saying burial plans will be delayed as her body is yet to arrive.
"To those
reminding us about religious sentiments, we wish to state that after her
demise, it took up to 3-4days before the AUTOPSY was finally concluded
and body released by the government of Canada to the brother of the
deceased and a friend of the industry Mr Yinka Farinde for burial. Body
now with relevant funeral home.
The
death certificate was issued yesterday and processing the entire
necessary documentations for her smooth journey to Nigeria with the
daughter had began in earnest. Two people from Canada had volunteered to
escort the body and child to Nigeria and we are eternally grateful.
We
do not wish to speculate. In few days we shall pass information
regarding the exact arrival date and other burial plans. And we appeal
against distracting comments, as the committee is trying as much as
possible to avoid joining issues with any one publicly and we will not
like when left with no other option than to respond. We ask for respect
for all parties.
The committee will like
to thank all members of the public especially her fans for your kind
understanding and emotion extended to her family and friends at this
trying period."
The remains of Moji Olaiya will be brought back to Nigeria by top Nigerian politician Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
May 23, 2017, actress Funke Adesiyan criticized celebrities she has called 'social media mourners' over the death of actress Moji Olaiya.
Adesiyan
spoke out against certain celebrities who only mourned the death of
Moji Olaiya on social media but have not contributed a kobo to her
funeral arrangements.
