The family of the late Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Francis Ogolla has revealed that he planned his burial well in advance, even before his death on April 18, 2024.
Speaking to the media from his ancestral home in Mor village, Alego Usonga, Siaya County, CDF Ogolla’s elder brother Canon Hezekiah Oduor said the late general had laid down an elaborate plan for his burial.
Oduor disclosed that Ogolla instructed their family to bury him within 72 hours of his death.
“There is a time we talked with him and he told us that he would wish that he is buried within 72 hours, he doesn’t want a funeral which would run for many days. And even showed us that ‘if I die bury me here’, in his home,” Canon Oduor said.
Ogolla’s elder brother noted that the deceased insisted that his burial wish must be honoured and even warned their sister whom he thought would oppose his will.”And he even questioned my sister there he told her that you are the one who is always stubborn, don’t bring problem during that time,” Oduor said.
