The event was attended by family members, staffers of Warri South Local Government Area and dignitaries from within and outside the Council.

In his homely, Rev (Dr) Benedict Ikutegbe, said the essence of living was to affect lives positively.

Ikutegbe said late Oribioye and his wife were committed to the service of God and had won the hearts of many.
