The Managing Director of MIC Funeral Services, Mr. Tunji Okusanya, who was allegedly killed in an Associated Airlines plane crash, had in the interview before his death, given guidelines on how he should be buried by his children.
In the said interview, he was asked if he had planned his funeral yet, having planned the funerals of others.
“Fortunately, I am in this line and my kids see what I do. You plan for yourself as you get older and we have people who plan their funerals before they die. They even choose the clothes they want to be buried in.
“My children know what I like to wear but it is always good to plan before hand because in most instances, your kids will not give you what you want. My children should bury me the way I live.”
A crowd of sympathizers thronged MIC House on hearing the news of the crash.
When the press visited the office, the funeral house was under locks and key, while the Nigerian flag in front of the office flew at half mast.
One woman, who preferred anonymity, alleged that the Managing Director, Tunji Okusanya and his first son whom he has handed over the company to were involved in the crash.
This information was however not confirmed as no immediate family member or close associates were found in the area.
Tunji Okunsanya was a trained engineer who studied in the United Kingdom. He was the head (Managing Director) of the Magbamowo Industrial Company, M.I.C. that was handed over to him by his father in 1982.
He had in a recent interview said he formed his company from his father’s company — Magbamowo Industrial Company.
“All I had to do was pick the first letter of each word to arrive at MIC. This was in 1982,” he said.
