The family of late veteran actress, Ada Ameh, has released an official statement regarding her funeral arrangements.

Empire earlier reported that Adah Ameh passed away on Sunday night, July 17, 2022, in Warri, Delta State, around 11 pm.

Giving an update on her burial rites, Abahi Amen, Ada Ameh’s younger sister who spoke on behalf of the family announced that the actress would be buried in August.

“Goodmorning everyone, my name is Abahi, I am Ada Ameh’s younger sister. I want to thank you all for standing by us. We are a large functional family. We can’t be wiped off. My husband and I decided to take this initiative to collaborate with her to give announcements and a few persons misinterpreted our intention. There is a lot we have seen in the past week that we are not comfortable with. Plans for her burial are ongoing. We have fixed the burial date for 25th and 26th of August, 2022”, Abahi announced.

Ada Ameh’s family had accused people of setting up condolences and mourning houses without their consent.

“Dear Boss! Your demise is no longer news. Many have helped us announce without your family even knowing. We’ve remained strong. Since I came into Lagos. All I’ve seen in your house are photographs and your memories. It’s heartbreaking! I constantly check my blood pressure as I wallow in silence. Life is short as it is said. Your life was impactful! You will be remembered by what you have done! Fans, kindly drop your tributes to Ada on ada-grace-ameh.forevermissed.com Announcements for the candle light and funeral service will be announced by her family soon”, Abahi had written.

In their statement, Ameh’s family revealed how people had been attacking her younger sister, Ameh Abahi, and her husband, Hotom Azuma, for their collaboration on her page.

The family stated that it saddened them to realize that the public prefers to hear that Ada Ameh has no living family members so that they can sympathize than hear the truths from family members.
