The widow of late Rivers state-born business mogul, High Chief OB Lulu-Briggs, has appealed to the family of the deceased to start the process of his burial.

The widow of the deceased, Dr Seinye Lulu-Briggs, in a letter addressed to the elders of Briggs family, appealed to them to initiate the process of interment.

“This is 10 months and he has not been buried. Whether this reason or reasons why this is so justified or not is not for me to state here. What I pray is that God Almighty may grant you grace to exhibit his counsel in your deliberation as it affects me and all my children.”
She said that the body of the deceased is still lying in a mortuary in Accra and urged the family to restart the process of according the deceased a befitting burial.
