FAMILY MEMBERS MISSING: Confusion In Akure Over Whereabouts Of Agagu's Family Members

There is palpable tension in Akure, the Ondo State capital over the whereabouts of the immediate family members of the late governor Olusegun Agagu, following the news of a plane crash in Lagos. A source informed Gistplaza that Agagu' s wife, son, and Chief Olu Falae's first Son Deji Falae were not found
as well. We are yet to really confirm that! But we pray it is not so!! Even the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Ayo Fadaka, only managed to say that he could not confirm anything for now.

As the news of the crash filtered into the state at about 10:30am this morning, the crowd that had gathered at the Akure Airport to receive the corpse of the immediate past governor of the state disappeared in a jiffy.

Also, political associates of the former governor and personalities that were already arriving the Democracy Park Akure, venue of the state government organised lying-in-state left in droves, wearing a sad look.

In the ensuing confusion, some politicians loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) advised the people around not to believe the rumour, saying it was the handiwork of the ruling Labour Party (LP) in the state to discredit the well planned burial for the late former state helmsman.

All efforts to confirm whether the children of the deceased were in the crashed plane proved abortive as none of his associates contacted picked up his call.

However, security operatives have been drafted to the Democracy Park to maintain law and order, as people gathered in groups discussing the likely whereabouts of the once first family in the state and the corpse of Agagu, the patriach of the family.
