A Valedictory Court session will take place at the Supreme Court on November 4 while nights of tribute will come up on November 10 and another valedictory court session shall come up the next day November 11 at the High Court of Justice, Asaba, Delta State.

Odum, Esq. reads, “The Funeral Planning Committee with the approval of the Government of Delta State and Oseji Family has released the following programme of activities for the funeral of Hon.
