The remains lying in state
By Ikechukwu Megbu, Lekki
The remains of Rachel Oniga, the late Nollywood actress, has been buried in Lagos amid tears.
Oniga breathed her last late July after battling a heart-related disease.
Burial arrangements began on August 23, with a symposium by a coalition of NGOs and friends of the deceased.
Subsequently, a service of songs was held on August 26, at the Catholic Church of Resurrection, Magodo in Lagos.
This was followed by the lying-in-state, which commenced by 9:30 am on Friday.
Oniga was thereafter lowered into her grave in the presence of family and friends.
