Kinsmen of late Senate President Dr Joseph Wayas have expressed fears that the body of their patriarch has again been abandoned at the National Hospital, Abuja.
Wayas’ remains arrived Nigeria after 33 months in a London morgue, on 10 July 2024.
Soon after, the Cross River State government set up several committees to plan for the burial but did not announce specific date for the event.
Three months after of the arrival of the body in the country, Wayas’ kinsmen are complaining over the slow pace of burial preparations.
Many of the kinsmen suspect that there may be issues, once more, amongst members of the Burial Planning Committee, as happened with the earlier one set up by former governor Ben Ayade.
One of the kinsmen, a youth leader named Williams Ben, said, “It is a big shame that a prominent son of the country like our patriarch is treated in this manner.
