In a statement issued on Sunday by Mike Abu, speaking on behalf of the family, it was disclosed that a wake will be held in her honour at her family residence in Masaka, Karu local government area of Nasarawa State.

According to the statement, Aladi’s body will leave Abuja for her hometown, Olaidu, Edumoga Ehaje in Okpokwu local government area of Benue State, on Monday, where she will be buried at the family compound the same day.

“The family is deeply saddened by the untimely death of our beloved daughter. We appreciate the public’s concern and request prayers for strength as we lay her to rest,” Abu stated.
