The
hope of many sympathizers who had thronged the Vaults and Gardens
cemetery, Ikoyi for the burial of Mrs Temitope Ariyibi, one of the
victims of the Dana plane mishap, was dashed when the ceremony could not
hold.
The
ceremony scheduled to commence at 10 am, according to the management of
the cemetery, was cancelled because "her body has yet to be
identified". Sympathizers
and journalists at the cemetery were told at about 12.30 pm by a female
employee of the undertaking outfit who did not want her name mentioned:
"We are sorry to inform you that the interment of one Mrs Temitope
Ariyibi has been cancelled. This is because her body is yet to be
released to her family because it has not yet been identified."
The
announcement shocked not a few sympathizers who berated the employers
of the late 35-year-old deceased for announcing unconfirmed burial plan.
Ariyibi's
employers, ConocoPhilips, had earlier announced that her interment
would hold at the private cemetery after a service of songs at the
Christian Day Centre, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.
