Ighalo’s dad buried

Odion Ighalo’s late dad, Pa Paul Ighalo, has been committed to mother earth in his home town in Agidigbo, Imadu, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State.
Pa Ighalo, who breathed his last in the early hours of Monday, was buried same day, according to his wishes.
A visit to the family house at 58, Salami Street, Greenland in Ajegunle, revealed that the father of the Watford FC striker was in great shape on Saturday when he spoke with the player before the FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace.
Odion’s brother, Daniel Ighalo, said: “My father was in his late 90’s and never complained of being sick.
“When in the early hours we were told that he had taken ill, a nurse from the Faithland Hospital came around to attend to him before he gave up the ghost.
“We were all shocked because nothing was wrong with him.
“On Monday morning when people knew he was late, our house was a sort of Mecca until his corpse was moved to Edo State.
“His last request was that he never wanted to be kept in the mortuary but to be buried immediately in his village and that had been done in his honour.”
The family has also announced that a formal wake keep and final burial rites would be held in his village at a later date.
