PHOTOS: M.I.C shuts down to mourn Boss, Son and Staff

The management of Magbamawo Industrial Company (M.I.C) Funeral Services has suspended business activities in order to mourn the passing away of six staff members including their boss, Olatunji Okunsanya and his son, Olatunji Okunsanya Jr.

When NET paid the family a condolence visit at their office, 17 Odunlami Street, Lagos Island, the arena was filled with relatives, staff, friends and onlookers who gathered to sympathize with them.

One of Okusanya’s niece, Damilola Okunsanya spoke of her uncle’s attitude to work ‘Uncle Tunji was a very nice man and humble man. He doesn’t just leave the work for his staff but stays in front of them always. He also dresses to suit any occasion so you will see him wear Igbo, Yoruba, Delta, Hausa and other attires’.

Damilola also expressed how cheerful the late Okunsanya was especially with people ‘He plays with everyone. He likes dancing and also snapping pictures. If you look around, you will see that he appears in almost all the pictures here. He even poses for a snapshot here in his office’ she said.

In addition to the boss and his son, other workers who died on the ill-fated Associated Airline plane crash of Thursday, October 3, 2013 are Chijioke Duru, Kings Amaechi, Samson Hassan and Abdul-Hakeem Akintunde (who was buried on Tuesday morning according to the Islamic rites).

We are told that the other five bodies (including the Okusanya’s) are being held by the Lagos State Government for DNA tests which would likely take three weeks after which the date for the burial proper will be fixed.
