Responding, Ikeoha welcomed Prince Onochie Igwesi and his entourage to his home. He stated how overjoyed he was that Prince Igwesi and so many other persons had come to identify with his family in a grieving time such as the family had at hand.

In his words “It is always good for one to distinguish himself, especially as a public servant and my brother left a mark in the Public Service.

“With the help of God, we are gradually getting over the shock of his sudden death. His burial has been fixed for 5th March and we are doing our best to get things set. We appreciate that Covid-19 would be a major challenge to people due to the need to avoid large gatherings so we understand that some people would come while some won’t and it’s okay.”
