The family of Onyeka Onwenu has revealed that the remains of the iconic singer will be buried before the end of August.
The family made this revelation on Tuesday while receiving a delegation from the Musical Society of Nigeria, (MCSN) who paid them a condolence visit at Ikoyi, Lagos residence of the late singer.
Onwenu was a member of MCSN before her sudden demise last Tuesday after her performance at the 80th birthday party of Chief Stella Okoli, owner of Emzor Pharmaceuticals.
Receiving the delegates led by Orits Wiliki, Chairman, Board of Trustees of MCSN, Onwenu’s sons, Abram and Tjiani expressed their intention to respect their late mother’s wishes by committing her remains to Mother Earth as soon as possible.
Though no particular date was announced, Onwenu’s sons, however, revealed that the late queen of songs will be buried before the end of this month.
According to them, the burial arrangement will be announced in the coming days.
Meanwhile, signing the condolence register at the late singer’s home KSA, who was overwhelmed by emotion, wrote ” Dear sister and colleague, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Your fans and friends all over the world will remember you forever “
Others in the delegation include the flutist, Tee Mac, who promised to perform at the service of songs of the late singer, Kenny Ogugbe, King Sunny Ade and Mayo Ayilaran, General Manager of MCSN among others.v
