AT THEIR CONNECTICUT , USA RESIDENCE : WELL WISHERS GATHERED TO PAY LAST RESPECT.
The six members of the Anyene family include – Onyeka (44), his wife Maimuna (33) and four children namely Kamsiyonna, (3) Kainetochi, (2) Kaimarachi (2) and Kobichimee, (five months), who died in the Dana Airline crash last month in Lagos, were given a last burial at their home town, Ndiowu in Orumba North local government area of Anambra state in the most sober and solemn mood.
It was a horrible and devastating sight to behold when two ambulances carrying the six caskets arrived at Ndiowu at 10 am. The coffin carrying the body of the late Onyeka, the family head was taken into the edifice he built while he was still alive. After some few hours of burial rites, the bodies were immediately taken to Lawrence Anglican Church for funeral service.
It was an uncontrollable tears when the caskets were being brought down from the ambulances as people continue to ask the all important question of why the Anyenes should experience such death harvest even when the 44 year old Onyeka was seen as a philanthropist when he was alive.
The funeral service that lasted more than 2 hours was conducted by five Bishops – Maxwell Anikwenwa,rtd, Sam Ezeofor of Ogbaru, Henry Oke ke of Mbamili, Christian Efobi of Aguata and Ephraim Ikeakor of Amichi -and 82 other priests after which the six Onyekas were buried in six graves prepared in Onyeka’s compound. - daily post.
