CONTROVERSY trails the burial of one the victim of the boat mishap, a makeup artist, Miss Abigail Fredrick who died along with Nollywood Actor, Junior Pope Odonwodo and three others while returning from a film location.

It was reported that Abigail was buried at the Riverbank because her family could not afford N150,000 sacrifice to the river to enable them give her a befitting burial in her home town in Akwa Ibom State.

Some concerned Nigerians knocked the Director, Producer and the government of Akwa Ibom State for not being able to fund the burial.

"@drpenking who was visibly angry said,  
Abigail the makeup artiste who died in the ill-fated boat with Junior Pope was buried at the River Bank because her family could not afford 150 000 Naira to perform the “sacrifices” needed for the community to release her corpse for proper burial. This is such a big shame.
What is even more shameful is that the Special Assistant to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Entertainment Mr Moses Eskor was right there and watched her own sister pushed into a shallow grave like a goat. Shame to you Sir.
Akwa Ibom is the number one oil producing state in Nigeria and as a man on the direct payroll of the Governor you mean you couldn’t cough out 150 000 Naira? Shame on you again Sir.
We shall all get what we deserve.

He even proudly stated that he contributed 10k. Chairman of Akwa Cross Chapter of Actors Guild of Nigeria and Special Assistant to the Governor of the Richest State in Nigeria did not have more than 10k in his account to contribute for his sister to be brought home? Again, we shall all get what we deserve
