“The community had been informed of an impending tragedy and the community had held a vigil, praying to avert it.
“The vigil even ended today (Thursday).
“It was a big tragedy for Iju-Odo community. We had before the death of Dr Olusegun Agagu lost our traditional ruler, and now a plane crash which involves our loved ones,’’ Oguntoye said.
He, however, urged the community to be fervent in prayers to prevent further tragedies.

Meanwhile, St. Paul Anglican Church, Iju-Odo, has been painted and renovated for the burial service scheduled for Friday while major roads leading into the town have been rehabilitated.
NAN reports that the grave located in the church cemetery has also been decorated to give the former governor a befitting burial.

Why now?....see the foolishness of man? This is a lesson to ALL in Authority, you may steal ALL our money, but, as the Bible says, it is appointed for man to die once, after, judgement''.....
Anonymous @7:13 AM: You are correct!!! That's the foolishness of man, what does it mean to a dead man where he/she is placed? - NOTHING!!! On the 'premonition' thing, why didn't they stop the flight then? Africans with voodoo syndrome, nothing happens in Africa without being ascribed to one evil force or the other.
