The remains of Late Elder Sampson Wobo Wichechukwu was committed to mother earth on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at 1.00pm in his country home in Oro-Akwor community in Rumueme Kingdom in Obio/Akpor LGA of Rivers State.
In his sermon at the funeral service for the deceased, Rev. B. Akpojisheri of Newlife Baptist Church advised Christians to live a righteous life so that they would spend eternity in heaven at the end of their life here on earth. According to the man of God, Christians should not allow material things or the desire to achieve success make them enter into an agreement with the devil.
The first lesson of the service was taken from Hebrews 9:23-28 and it was read by the third daughter of the deceased, Miss Vivieth Wobo.
In his tribute to his late father, the first son, Mr. Emenike Dauglas Wobo described his late father as a peacemaker who left a great legacy behind for the family as contained in the Holy Bible, Gal. 5:22, 23.
