Akure, the Ondo State capital, was thrown into confusion, Thursday, as news of the crash of the plane conveying the corpse of a former governor of the state, Olusegun Agagu, filtered into town.
The plane was also conveying some relatives of Agagu and some members of the burial committee comprising top government officials.
As early as 9. 00 a.m., a huge crowd of supporters and well-wishers, especially members of the PDP, had gathered at the Democracy Park in the state capital, venue of the lying-in state organised by the state government.
