The remains of the late Dr (Mrs) Stella Adadevoh who was
infected with Ebola after treating Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian who brought the
disease to Nigeria will be buried Friday
next week .
The burial will be
preceded by a memorial service at Holy Cross Cathedral, opposite City Hall,
Lagos by 10am.
The Nation gathered that the family has obtained the ashes
of the late doctor, after the corpse was decontaminated and cremated by the
Lagos State Government.
Also, a Night of Tributes has been slated for Thursday by
6pm at Harbour Point Hotel, Lagos.
The family said it decided to bury the ashes because, “in
the future, people (society) may be taunting us and her son that his late
mother has no grave.”
“It was basically a cultural thing that informed us to
decide to obtain her ashes for the burial. Committing the ashes to Mother Earth
will strictly be a family affair; hence we have put up the Memorial Service and
a Night of Tributes,” stated a family member.
