Nollywood recently lost one of its talented actress, Moji Olaiya who died in Canada.
Her friends and associates slated her burial to hold by 4 pm yesterday, (Friday, May 19, 2017) in Canada.
It has been gathered that the Ekiti State Government moved swiftly to stop the burial ceremony.
According to Encomium, 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, 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 diseased buried not later than the second day after death) at 4 pm yesterday.
But the plans changed with the intervention of Ekiti state (where the actress is from). Her eldest daughter, Adunola, 18, had insisted that her mother’s corpse should be brought back to Nigeria. But she was persuaded to allow the Canada funeral.
Moji Olaiya’s Abuja based Alhaji husband and father of her two month old baby, who arrived Lagos on Thursday, also acceded to the Friday burial, but with Ekiti state intervention, all will await the corpse which will arrive Nigeria soon.
