visit to her residence.
It was also learnt that the actress, a chief from Delta State,
left an instruction she should be buried in Lagos.
Asiegbu said: “My relationship with Rachael Oniga dates back to
the year 2000. We worked together and became close family friends.
”I am the godfather to her last daughter who
is now 26. We were that close. When I had issues with marketers and got banned,
she stood by me and was also banned.
”I am still in shock and I was told by her first daughter
Georgina aka Miji that her mother died of a heart attack and not covid.
“The children promised to keep us posted on any relevant
information concerning the burial.”
A delegation of Lagos lawmakers led by Desmond Elliot visited
the Magodo, Lagos residence of the deceased.
