The remains of controversial Nollywood star, Muna Obiekwe who passed away at the age of 36 on Sunday, January 18, 2015, is said to be presently embalmed at the Nigerian Naval Reference Hospital‘s morgue in Alakija, Satellite Town, Lagos.
Muna Obiekwe’s Burial Plan
An attendant at the morgue, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed that the body was brought in from a private hospital in Festac where the actor passed away on Sunday evening.
It was also gathered exclusively that his corpse will be at the well-guarded Naval base until his family members will move it to St. Edwards Hospital‘s morgue in Obosi, Onitsha, Anambra State.
The actor is from Anambra State and the arrangements by his family members will see his corpse moved to his state of origin on Saturday, January 24, 2015. When Muna’s widow was contacted (who sounded quite young, well educated but firm and confident) on the phone, she refused to divulge her name or have any discussion whatsoever with the correspondent.
The attendant stationed at the morgue said the woman laid down very strict instructions that her name, contact or details be divulged to no one no matter the circumstance. Efforts to get the deceased actor’s wife to at least comment on burial plans or disclose her name or history of marriage to Muna proved abortive as she insisted on protecting her family’s privacy. The stand is not dissimilar to the late actor’s lifestyle as he was very popular, intensely controversial but reportedly very elusive about his personal life.

A number of his colleagues who do not want their name in print allege that Muna suffered in silence, to the point of death from Renal Failure. The level of compliance to Muna’s wife’s instructions at the Naval hospital’s morgue gives an indication that she either has a military background or one of the late actor’s relatives is connected to the military in a way. This is because it is very difficult, if not almost impossible, to embalm a corpse in a military health facility without being a personnel or having strong military ties.
Another source claimed that the deceased wife is a sister to a retired general thus, he has been keeping the media away from her family with the use of the military.
Photographers are currently not allowed inside Naval Hospital in Satellite Town to avoid leaking his remains to the public.
