In a small gathering and a special moment strictly for the family of the patriarch, Captain Idahosa Okunbo Wells – a philanthropic giant and Edo people’s hero – was laid to his final resting place.
The short service, which included a grand procession closely followed by his family, held at the Wells Hosa Greenhouse Farm, a first of its kind commercially successful and indigenously owned greenhouse farm in the country.
He was accompanied by a few to a specially built and grand mausoleum at the centre of the premises, a memorial place that would be his final home.
The service was conducted by Apostle Goodheart Ekwueme, who encouraged the family to partake in the dust-to-dust ritual after a brief announcement of the interment.
The solemn service ended when Captain was lowered to the ground, and the family bowed out with their last respects to a man that had changed his world and father that would remain with his children forever.
Although Captain is no more, the family were sure that his spirit still lives on.
