Meanwhile, the family has also has counseled the public to be wary of online fraudsters soliciting funds in its name.
Addressing the media on Saturday at Burma Camp, the family stressed only two individuals have been authorized to run Go Fund Me accounts to raise funds – Modesta Adewuje Alobawone and Agbeko.
“Any other accounts are fake and we as a family are not dealing with them,” the family spokesperson Zakari Ahmed said. “We don’t want to monitise this funeral and we have rejected a lot of proposals.”
