Read statement below;
“The Olaiya Family appreciate the immense outpouring of love and
affection the public showed the family since the sudden and untimely
death of our beloved Sister, Moji Olaiya, and the huge support we
received for her burial. Her friends, fans, colleagues in the movie
industry and the general public displayed an uncommon show of support
and kindness towards the family in our grieving time.
We are grateful indeed for your condolence messages, visits, gifts
and other forms of support, we are indeed very grateful to have such
wonderful people. We also want to use this medium to specially thank the
Burial Committee and all those who were involved in helping to raise
funds for the return of Moji’s remains to Nigeria, we are eternally
grateful to you for rising above the grief to support the family. This
is also appreciating Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, erstwhile governor of
Lagos State for his humane and philanthropic gesture in providing the
required funds to transport Moji’s corpse back to Nigeria. Thank you,
your Excellency. Indeed, Moji received burial befitting queens because
of all your efforts.
We wish to use this opportunity to debunk claims circulating on
social media that Moji was poisoned by a friend in Canada. An autopsy
was conducted; the autopsy reports indicated that our dear sister died
of a different cause that can be termed natural medical cause. It is not
the desire of the family to have anyone implicated in her death having
seen the autopsy reports, therefore, we appeal to friends, fans and the
general public to accept Moji’s death as an act of God though rather
unfortunate.
We are of the view that some people do have a genuine interest to assist
and support the children Moji left behind, we, therefore advice that
all donations should be made payable to the Trust Fund set up for her
children. The details of the Trust Fund Account below:
Name: Fund Ifo Adunoluwa Farombi
