As part of the final rites, the late chairman’s body will lie in repose at the APC National Secretariat on Sunday from 12 noon, where party executives, supporters, sympathizers, and members of the public will be given the opportunity to pay their last respects.

On Monday, the remains will be laid in state at the State Hall of Parliament at 10:00 a.m., followed by a civic laying-out ceremony at the Freetown City Council, allowing the wider public to honor the late APC chairman.
