Offor on Sunday, November 13, warned pickpockets to steer
clear of the funeral of his father, Chief Bennett Offor that
will hold this week at Oraifite, Anambra State.
He said security arrangements had been put in place to pick
anybody who would misbehave on the occasion, warning that
he will not spare anybody, including hoodlums who may like
to embarrass his friend and well wishers that will attend the
burial in any way.
Meanwhile President Muhammadu Buhari and American
President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump and many other African
leaders are expected to attend the funeral. This was disclosed
by the Vice Chairman of the Pa Benneth Offor Burial
Committee, Mr. Tony Obi, while unveiling the burial plans of
Pa Offor who died in Febuary this year, at Emeka Okafor
Foundation Centre, Oraifite, Anambra State.
According to Sir Offor:
“my father served the Nigerian Police meritoriously and
retired after 35 years of service, so nobody will be allowed
to come here and mess up his funeral.
Security arrangements have been put in place to deal with
miscreants.” “Pickpockets would often sew uniform and
infiltrate the funerals of rich persons in the State and steal
people’s valuables, including telephone and money, but we are
waiting for them in Oraifite, that day may be their last that
will land them in prison, to be fore warned is to be fore
armed.”
Chief Offor said members of the National Assembly would be
led to the funeral ceremony by the former Presidents of the
Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani and Senstor Anyim Pius Anyim,
while many people from all walks of life will have promised
to come.
“My father was a very nice man, he gave me so much
encouragement and everything you see me doing was initiated
by him. He is a passionate philanthropist who would always
like to see smiles on the faces of everyone that came in
contact with him and I must tell you that most of the guys
you see me hang out with were introduced to me by him.
