Chief
Emeka Offor on Sunday warned pickpockets to steer clear of the funeral
of his father, Chief Bennett Offor that will hold this week at Oraifite,
Anambra State.
He said
security arrangements had been put in place to pick anybody who would
misbehave on the occasion, warning that he will not spare anybody,
including hoodlums who may like to embarrass his friend and well wishers
that will attend the burial in any way.
Meanwhile
President Muhammadu Buhari and American President-elect, Mr. Donald
Trump and many other African leaders are expected to attend the funeral.
This was
disclosed by the Vice Chairman of the Pa Benneth Offor Burial Committee,
Mr. Tony Obi, while unveiling the burial plans Pa Offor who died in
Febuary this year, at Emeka Okafor Foundation Centre, Oraifite, Anambra
State. According to Sir Offor, “my father served the Nigerian Police
meritoriously and retired after 35 years of service, so nobody will be
allowed to come here and mess up his funeral. Security arrangements have
been put in place to deal with miscreants.”
“Pickpockets
would often sew uniform and infiltrate the funerals of rich persons in
the State and steal people’s valuables, including telephone and money,
but we are waiting for them in Oraifite, that day may be their last that
will land them in prison, to be fore warned is to be fore armed.”
Chief Offor
said members of the National Assembly would be led to the funeral
ceremony by the former Presidents of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani and
Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, while many people from all walks of life will
have promised to come. “My father was a very nice man, he gave me so
much encouragement and everything you see me doing was initiated by him.
'He is a
passionate philanthropist who would always like to see smiles on the
faces of everyone that came in contact with him and I must tell you that
most of the guys you see me hang out with were introduced to me by him.
