Sources say
the burial arrangement of deceased Yoruba actress, Moji Olaiya is causing an
unexpected rift within her family.
The late
actress was a practising Muslim who converted from Christianity as an adult,
and certain members of her family are suggesting that she be interred today
according to Muslim rites.
But her
20-year-old daughter, Adun is having none of that and insists that her mother’s
corpse be brought back for burial in Nigeria.
Although
family members ushered her into a secluded room to calm her down, the grieving
young lady kept repeating that she wants to see her mother.
"She
must be brought back,’ Adun said. ‘I don’t care what anybody says, I just want
my mother’s body."
It could,
however, be difficult to bury her the same day as internments are costly in
developed countries.
In Canada
where she died, funeral costs can rise as high as $15,000. Flying her body back
on the other hand could cost around half that figure.
