Anlo Traditional Area to organise another funeral for Rawlings
Listen to article
The Anlo traditional area says it will hold traditional funeral rites for the late Jerry John Rawlings even though their request for the body was denied.
Secretary of the planning committee of the Anlo Traditional Area, Agbotadua Kumasah explained that even though the Traditional Area could not get the body, they are still going ahead to hold the funeral to honour the late former President who was installed a chief.
Mr Kumasah cited historical precedents where chiefs’ funerals have been organised without their bodies.
“Until his burial today, we were expecting his body to be released to us so now that they are going to bury him in Accra, we as Anlos will organise our own traditional burial for him.
