Junior Pope’s burial: Family urges public to rely on information by c’ttee

The family of John Paul Odonwodo, alias Junior Pope, has urged the public to rely solely on information from the Central Planning Committee (CPC) for his burial.

The elder brother to Junior Pope, Mr Ivor Odonwodo, who disclosed this in a statement in Enugu, said what the family owed him now was to bid him a befitting farewell, hence the setting up of the burial committee by the family.

He said, “We enjoin the public to rely solely on information put out by the committee on the funeral rites.

“The tentative date of burial for our fallen hero is May 17, while the programme of events around his farewell is being finalised with the family.

• Expectations as farmers, herders sign peace pact in South West
• Arrested ASP, rescued kids handed over to police in Sokoto

“The funeral poster encapsulating these events will be shared by the CPC to the public shortly.

“We encourage everyone to be patient as the CPC finalises this, and in the meantime, tributes are being collated for him using https://everloved.com/life-of/john-paul-odonwodo/ and .https://bit.ly/ForevermissedJnrPope.

“People who wish to send in letter headed tributes can send to jnrpopememorial@gmail.com.” (NAN)
