The family of High Chief, Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs has announced that their patriarch will be finally laid to rest on March 13, 2021. This is more than two years, after he passed on.
Barrister Ibim Dokubo stated this during a press conference at Abonnema, on behalf of the Oruwari Briggs House.
“It is our pleasure at this point to break the news that the late High Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, OON, DCF, DSSRS, the Iniikeiroari V of Kalabari Kingdom and Paramount Head of Oruwari Briggs House of Abonnema will be committed to mother Earth on Saturday, March 13, 2021,” he said.
“The major reason we could not plan the burial ceremony was because for more than fifteen months we could not take custody of the mortal remains of High Chief O.B. Lulu- Briggs because of the series of Court cases that denied the family from taking custody of the body…,” he added.
The first son of the deceased, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs in a statement, commended the Governor of Rivers State, Barr. Nyesom Wike for his support during the trying period.
