Family Of Late London-bound Nigerian Student Announces Burial Plans, Bitterly Complains Of Egypt Air Nonchalance
The family of the late Remilekun Toyosi Meshioye, 41, a Nigerian citizen who died aboard Egypt Air on September 4, 2023, in Cairo on her way to London for studies, has announced her burial plans with the repatriation of the body back to Lagos on Wednesday.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Head of Media, Public Relations and Protocols of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, via their official X handle on Monday, October 16.
The statement read, “According to the programme being coordinated by her sister, Lola Olaniyi-Alabi, the body will arrive in Lagos on Wednesday, October 18, from Cairo.
“Thereafter, there will be a service of songs at the Winners Chapel Ogba, Lagos, on Thursday, October 19, by 4 p.m., while the burial will hold at Matori Cemetery Ladipo, near Oshodi Bus Terminus, Lagos, at 10 a.m. on Friday, October 20.”
It further read that Olaniyi-Alabi said the family decided to repatriate the body of the late Meshioye back home for burial following the refusal of Egypt Air management to accept full responsibility for what happened to its passenger.
She said the family had written a series of petitions to Egypt Air and its management but has refused to even condole them up to this moment, let alone accept the responsibility of bringing the corpse back in line with global aviation rules.
Similarly, the Egypt Air management has also refused to respond to a letter written to it by NIDCOM to seek clarification on the matter and do the needful for the family.
The PUNCH reports that Meshioye’s journey from Lagos to London aboard Egypt Air took a tragic turn when she reportedly fell sick mid-flight and died in the hospital.
Ben Affleck believes he was “temporarily insane” when he married Jennifer Lopez and the star actor is reportedly pushing for a divorce after “coming to his senses”.
The pair tied the knot in August 2022, rekindling their romance 20 years after they called off their first engagement.
Less than 2 years later, Ben has allegedly labelled their relationship a “fever dream”.
Page Six reports the actor is keen to end their marriage, claiming the decision to wed was due to “temporary insanity”.
A source told the publication: “If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would.”
They added: “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
People also reported Ben and Jennifer have “very different approaches to fame” leading to clashes.
Although they recently attended Ben’s child Finn’s school production together, the couple are reportedly living separately despite buying a £47million ($60million) mansion together last year.
Divorce rumours were further fuelled when fans noticed that J.Lo liked an Instagram post about “broken relationships”.
A 30-year-old teacher at Landmark School Mgbakwu in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Faith Nwonye has been arrested for allegedly beating an 8-year-old pupil into a coma.
The state commissioner for Education, Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who disclosed this while briefing journalists in her office on Monday, May 20, 2024, said that the school has been permanently shut down.
Chuma-Udeh said she had summoned the school’s proprietor and Nwonye to explain the incident that led to the brutal beating of the primary pupil.
“We received this unfortunate incident from an illegal school in Mgbakwu that a child was beaten to a coma over the weekend. On behalf of the State Government, we invited the proprietress of the illegal school as well as the teacher who purportedly beat the child,” she said.
“We’ve handed the matter to the police for further investigations, as we await Mr Governor’s directives. Meanwhile, the school is closed down indefinitely because it’s not supposed to exist in the first instance. Any parent who is enrolling his/her child in an illegal school is doing so at his/her own peril.
“To the proprietors of private schools, anyone running an unapproved school in Anambra is a criminal. It’s a criminal offence to run an illegal school in the state.
“Whether the school is legal or not, it’s criminal to beat a child. According to the doctor, the chances of survival of the child is 20%.”
The commissioner added that the teacher would be brought to book.
“As soon as the police are done, the teacher will face other institutions against child rights. She’s going to have the full wrath of the law brought upon her over her actions,” she said.
“Anambra state abhors violence to children, women, and any other person. It’s not part of this administration and Mr. Governor is against such.”
