The late veteran Nollywood actress, Bukky Ajayi has been buried last week but her final resting place is raising dusts. She was laid to rest at the Atan Cementry that doesn’t seem befitting to someone who has inspired a lot of people while alive.

What should matter is the salvation of her soul sir. Let’s not sensationalise matters like this abeg,” he queried.

Patrick Doyle has a personal experience after he helped with the burial of his niece at this cemetery “The funeral took place at Atan Cemetery in Yaba.
