The body was taken to Agulu Town Hall briefly before he was taken to his compound to lay in state.

By 10:00 am, the body arrived at Madonna Catholic Church in Agulu for a Pontifical Requiem Mass after which he will be taken to his country home to be committed to Mother Earth.

On Tuesday, Nov. 23, a pontifical service was held at the Christ the King Parish in Enugu to pray for the repose of the late Dr. Chike Akunyili.
