Ogwashi Uku, the capital of Aniocha South Local Government Area, stood still on July 22 2021.
The ancient town was in awe, splendour and wore a colourful colour especially, Ogbe Ubu quarters, as the late Madam Mary Adaeke Eneduwa,was committed to mother earth by her children.
Indeed the town has never seen such a carnival-like burial and may wait for a long time to witness such again. In fact, it will certainly not be in a hurry to forget the bench mark-like event as it will not only be a talking point for months or years if not decades to come.
That was what happened on that day as the woman who died at the grand old age of 80 years was laid to eternal rest by his son, Austin Eneduwa-George and his other siblings.
The burial programme started with a service of songs at her residence, George. N. Eneduwa Street, Umuokwe Qrts, Ogwashi-Uku on July 22, 2021 . From there and in a colourful motorcade, the ceremony shifted to St. Patrick Catholic Church Umuokwe, Ogwashi Uku, for the funeral service before returning to her residence at #1 George.N. Eneduwa for the final interment. It was an eye catching event as the the pale bearers did a spectacular display with the remains of the deceased contained in an immaculate white casket.
If the guest though they hard seen it all the furneral service and interment, a big surprise await them at the reception for them held at Event Centre Aniocha South Local Government Area, GRA Ogwashi Uku.
