The governor of Lagos, Babatunde Raji Fashola has approved the cremation of dead bodies in Lagos state. Fashola signed the cremation bill into law today at the Lagos house in Ikeja.
According to the Commissioner for Justice,Lagos state, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the law is only provided for voluntary cremation.
It is voluntary in the sense that it allows for voluntary cremation, whereby a person may signify interest to be cremated when he dies or a deceased’s family members who must attain the age of 18 years can decide to have the corpse cremated.
hmm..Never knew cremation was formerly prohibited in Lagos...o_O
