The remains of Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya may soon be returned to Nigeria for burial as death certificate and other relevant documents needed for her the purpose have been issued and handed over to her brother, Yinka Farinde, by the Canadian government.

“And we appeal against distracting comments, as the committee is trying as much as possible to avoid joining issues with anyone publicly and we will not like when left with no other option than to respond.

“We ask for respect for all parties.

“The committee will like to thank all members of the public, especially her fans, for your kind understanding and emotion extended to her family and friends at this trying period.”
