Family and friends of Anthony Onome Unuode, the young man, who was stabbed to death during the #EndSARS protest in Abuja, were thrown into mourning on Thursday as they gather to lay the deceased to rest.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports a service of songs was held for late Onome at Christ the King Catholic parish Kubwa on Thursday evening, preceding lying in state and a burial service slated for Friday.
According to the burial arrangement put together by the family, Onome would be interred at the Christian session of the Gudu cemetery in Abuja after a 10 am mass on Friday.
The family and friends who gathered to pay their last respect regretted the painful exit of the 28-year-old, asking the government to make sure Onome is served justice even in his death.
TNG reports Onome was stabbed multiple times by thugs during the #EndSARS protest in Kubwa, a suburb of Abuja. He died after a battle to stay alive.
Several videos on social media show him struggling to walk after he was stabbed, while he held on to his shirt.
