Moji Olaiya Burial: Committee plans to sell her Tribute T-shirt


The burial committee of popular Yoruba actress, Moji Olaiya has announced the tribute t-shirt price offer (N1,500) while unveiling the two-day burial plans for the actress to journalists slated for Tuesday, June 6 and Wednesday, June 7, 2017 in Lagos respectively.

Olaiya died on 17 May of cardiac arrest three months after she was delivered of a baby girl in Canada.

She was 42 years old.

Yomi Fabiyi, the Publicity Secretary of the committee said that people who would be interested in participating in the burial could buy the T-shirts.

However, the committee in the obituary for the late Olaiya made public, said those that would not be able to afford the price of the T-shirt should wear corporate black outfits during the two-day event.

The committee said that Moji’s corpse would arrive Lagos from Canada on June 6.

It said that same day, there would be a service of songs for her remains at the Blue Roof of LTV 8 premises in Agidingbi, Ikeja, from 4.00 p.m.

The committee also said that this would be followed with the lying-in-state for her while the interment would hold on Wednesday, 7 June, 2017 at the Ebony Vault in Ikoyi Cemetery.

However, some members of the public had objected to the plan to print and sell T-shirts during Moji Olaiya’s burial saying that the actress died at a very tender age.
