HID Awolowo to be buried in a gold casket and a white damask cloth she bought and kept 36 years ago

Wife of Late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Mrs H.I.D
Awolowo who died on September 19th, will be buried on
November 25th in a white damask cloth she bought and
kept for this purpose 36 years ago. Her daughter,
Reverend (Mrs) Tola Oyediran, revealed this, saying
“Mama in her unique way had kept a white
damask to be laid in her casket whenever she
died since the day she stopped her fabric sales
business. And if I am not mistaken, I think she
stopped selling fabrics around 1979; meaning
that since then, she had kept that damask for that
purpose. That is her wish and it will be like
that.”she said
Oyediran also revealed that Mama will be buried in a
gold casket which will be brought in from the United
States of America. She will be buried beside her
husband inside the Awolowo mausoleum in the family
compound in Okenne, Ogun state.
