We’ll bury Rawlings body in Anlo - Family insists

The family of late former president Jerry John Rawlings says they would like to have possession of his remains.

According to the letter co-signed by Napoleon Kwame Agbotui and Godson Agbotui, who are Secretary and Chairman respectively to the Agbotui, Tamakloe and Allied families, an initial plan to perform the traditional rites for the late President on 22nd and 23rd January ahead of the state’s funeral performance has been cancelled and rescheduled for the 29th and 30th of January.

The letter also indicated that the family resolved at a 17th January meeting held in the Awadada’s palace in Anloga that the views expressed by Rawlings’s family members on the central funeral planning committee represented their individual opinions and not that of the Agbotui, Tamakloe and Allied families.

This was after the brothers and sisters of the Tamakloe and Allied families on the Central Planning Committee expressed their personal opinions “on matters relating to the burial place of H. E. Jerry John Rawlings”.
