It was a moment of mixed feelings when the mortal remains of the late mother of former President Jerry John Rawlings, Victoria Agbotui, arrived at the State House.

Amid dancing and singing coupled with a display by pallbearers clad in Ghana Air force uniform her remains were ushered into the funeral groups.

Madam Agbotui’s body was brought to the forecourt of the State House for a filing past.

A non-denominational Church Service immediately followed with the final interment to take place at her hometown, Dzelukope in the Volta Region.
