Na for St Paul’s Catholic Church for Ofoni, Sagbama Local Government Area dem hold the funeral service. President Bola Tinubu no fit show face, but him send Minister of State for Petroleum, Heineken Lokpobiri, to represent am. As blessing be, Tinubu talk say e dey sympathize with the Ewhrudjakpo family and the whole Bayelsa State people.

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, wey dey known for him sweet mouth, still come talk about the late deputy governor. E say Lawrence na true public servant wey dey believe say everybody suppose dey carry along for governance matter. Dem for the service no dey play small small, e collect dignitaries from all over the nation. Na wa!

Governor Diri dey shine him eye as e talk say Lawrence na careful and disciplined man. As e dey waka for life, e no dey joke with wetin e dey chop or drink. Diri still yarn say if carefulness fit save person, Lawrence for still dey with us. Him dey miss am well well.

But e no end there o! As dem dey carry people go the funeral, wahala come burst! Na 18-seater bus wey dey carry passengers come meet motor accident for Sagbama–Ekeremor Road. E be like say two people chop indomie for the spot, while others dey play with their lives. Professor Seiyefs Brisibe, the Bayelsa State Commissioner for Health, quickly talk say no be true say more than 10 people die. E clear the air say only two die, while others dey stable.

As the matter dey hot, ambulance service no waste time, dem carry the victims go hospital. Seven people land for Sagbama General Hospital, while ten go Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital. The health commissioner no wan hear any funny gist!
