The burial of late popular ace broadcaster and legislative aide to Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Mr Mudiaga Asagba, has been slated for Friday January 17, 2020 at Amukpe in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.
Asagba, also popular known as the “man next door”, died Monday December 9, 2019 at the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja.
He died at the age of 52.
Veteran Mudiaga became famous during his broadcasting career which spanned several years with the Delta Broadcasting Service (DBS) Warri. He voluntarily resigned his appointment with DBS Warri to join Quest Fm in 2016.
The family disclosed the burial arrangement when a committee of friends and former colleagues of late Mudiaga paid a condolence visit to the Asagba family at the home of Amb. Noble Asagba in Sapele, on Friday.
The family disclosed that a service of song would be held for the late broadcaster on Thursday January 16 at his family compound in Amukpe.
The delegation led by popular DBS Warri sports presenter, Mr Azuka Chiemaka, described Mudiaga’s death as shocking and commiserated with the family over his untimely demise.
Chiemaka told the family that friends and former colleagues of the former broadcaster will collaborate with the family to ensure a befitting burial for Mudiaga.
Meanwhile, friends and former colleagues of Mudiaga Henry Asagba are planning to hold novelty match and concert/tribute night for the deceased during the week of the burial.
The friends and former colleagues, who have been meeting on how to give a befitting burial for the former broadcaster who also briefly worked with WE FM and Classic FM stations in Abuja, said Mudiaga Asagba deserved to be given a befitting burial for his contribution to society.
However, the committee of friends will be meeting on Monday December 30th, 2019, at Baiylez Hotel along Enerhen road, Effurun by 3pm in continuation of preparations for the burial arraignment.
Mudi’s friends are encouraged to attend the meeting.
