Funke Akindele reportedly absent at father's burial

According to the reports, Funke Akindele-Bello and her siblings were conspicuously absent during the laying in state which took place at Ikorudu in Lagos state over the weekend.

The Bishop Methodist Church Nigeria, Diocese of Ikorodu, Rt. Rev Samson Osundina, on Friday, January 17, 2020, expressed his disappointment with the actress and her siblings over their absence at their father's funeral.

While delivering the burial sermon, Rev. Osundina thanked the children for taking care of their father during the times when he was ill but stressed the fact that paying him the last respect as children were very important and significant. He enjoined them to retrace their steps by making amends wherever necessary. He then suspended the usual outing and thanksgiving service which are final programs in Christian’s burial, till the deceased’s children are available to attend.
