Anambra State Government organizes a mass burial for a total of 32 unclaimed bodies of the Onitsha fuel tanker fire. The Obosi community and the environs were calm with mourning as the dead bodies were committed to the mother earth.

In a sermon during the burial service, an Anglican cleric, Bishop Owen Nwokolo enjoined Christians to live a life of chastity so as not to be caught unawares by death.
