On May 16, the community will gather to mourn the loss of one of their own at a wake in his village of Uwala Abaka, Ukehe, in Nsukka, Igboetiti LGA of Enugu State.
The last rites of passage are set to take place on May 17 at St. Peter’s Parish, Ukehe, after the funeral liturgy. With the affection and memories of his family and community surrounding him, Junior Pope will be laid to rest in the reassuring embrace of his native land.
