We’ll Bury Rawlings In Anlo, Not Military Cemetery – Agbotui family

The family of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings have noted that his final burial rites will be at the Anlo State as tradition demands.

“The Chief and people of the Anlo State led by the families have resolved to take possession of their beloved departed son’s mortal remains and proceed to continue the Final Traditional Rites and burial on 29th and 30 January 2021 at the Anl State as tradition demands.”

In their latest written communication on the matter, sent to President Akufo-Addo, the Agbotui and Allied families explained that the state could proceed to hold all activities as planned “except the intended burial at the Military Cemetery and the original plan to have Traditional Rites on the 22nd and 23 January 2021 in Anloga”.

Till this decision, the former president was set to be interred at the Military cemetery with work already underway including the clearing of weeds and painting of pavements.
