The planned burial of the Lagos State
University (LASU) student, Favour Daley-Oladele, murdered by her boyfriend for
money-making rituals, did not hold yesterday due to the sate government’s
investigation into the matter.
The late Daley-Oladele’s uncle,
Toyeme Solomon, disclosed this to friends and sympathisers, who thronged the
Atan Cemetery on University Road, Akoka, Lagos, that the funeral had been put
on hold.
Daley-Oladelea, a final year
Sociology student was allegedly killed for money rituals at a Cherubim and
Seraphim Church in Ikoyi-Ile, Osun State, by her boyfriend, Owolabi Adeeko, his
mother Mrs Bola Adeeko, and the pastor of the church, Segun Philips.
Solomon told The Nation that the
family was advised at the mortuary that the Lagos State government wanted the
family to wait until the conclusion of the investigation.
“What really happened was when we
went to collect the corpse of Favour – we were told of a call that came in from
the Lagos State Ministry of Health that we should hold on.
“They said we should not carry
the body till they finish the investigation. So, that’s why we couldn’t go
ahead with the burial today.
“The investigation is being
carried out under the supervision of the Lagos State Ministry of Health and it
is when the investigation is completed that we will know when to bury the
corpse,” he said.
The Permanent Secretary, Lagos
State Ministry of Health, Olusegun Ogboye however, confirmed the ongoing probe
by the state.
He said after the investigation,
a report will be released.
“Thereafter, a decision will be
taken on the release of the corpse to the family,” he said.
