This comes after Abigail Frederick was sadly been laid to rest at the riverbank.
According to a man identified on Facebook as Moses Ekor, Abigail was buried at the riverbank as her father didn’t have money to conduct the necessary sacrifice for her body to be carried back home to Akwa Ibom State.
Expressing worry and dissatisfaction, Moses Ekor tagged the riverbank burial as shameful. He thanked a few people who donated money for the transportation of her parents from Akwa Ibom to Asaba.
