Mild Drama As Obasanjo Shuts Out Guests At Mother-In-Law Burial Over COVID-19

A statement by the former President’s Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi said Mrs Bola Obasanjo (the deceased daughter) was absent at the ceremony, as she was in United Kingdom (UK) and could not make it.

The statement hinted that the former President stood his ground, enforcing adherence to safety measures at the St. Peter’s Anglican Church (Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion) Diocese of Remo, Isara Remo, where the burial service took place, Daily Trust reports.

Our correspondent reports that the state government only allowed gathering of 20 as part of measures to maintain physical distancing as a way to flatten the curve of COVID – 19.
