The 35-year old Nigerian who was killed in Gao, India, on October 30,
Simeon Obodo, has been buried in his hometown in Obogwe-Umunwaku
community in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo.
A representative of the family, Ejike Esinkoye, disclosed this in a
telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday.
Mr. Esinkoye, who said the funeral service of Mr. Obodo took place on
Monday at St Paul’s Catholic parish Obogwe-Umunwaku, expressed dismay
that the Federal Government did not send any official delegation to the
burial.
He also said that the family had yet to receive any compensation or assistance from the India government.
