Loved ones and fans especially are awaiting new burial programme for gospel singer Bunmi Akinnaanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi, is being awaited after the initial one was cancelled by the family.

“This is to inform you that all plans and arrangements for the burial of our late sister and colleague, Lady Evangelist Bunmi Akinnaanu a.k.a. Omije Ojumi, by the Burial Planning Committee have been totally cancelled,” Alewilese wrote in the caption.
He said the decision was taken due to issues arising from within the singer’s family.
“This decision becomes necessary due to some issues arising from and within her family.
Alewilese said the previously scheduled events, including a service of songs, candlelight procession, and tribute night on January 20, and a private interment on January 21, have been put on hold.
“This is not my personal decision. It is the conclusion of the family and the burial committee,” he said.
He explained that he was asked to inform Nigerians of the change, adding that the previously announced programmes had been put on hold.
