WARRI, DELTA STATE — It was a moment of deep emotion, grief and reflection as family members, relatives, friends and well-wishers gathered on Thursday, November 12, 2026, to convey the remains of Late Mama Esther Suiweta James Agbainfo (née Agbaibor) from Warri to her country home, Ogbinbiri Community, Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, for her final burial rites.

The solemn movement marked the beginning of the departed matriarch's final journey home, as members of the Agbainfo and Agbaibor families, alongside sympathisers and community well-wishers, assembled to pay their last respects to a woman whose life and legacy remain deeply cherished by her loved ones.

The atmosphere at the Warri Central Hospital mortuary was filled with sorrow as her remains were brought out for the journey to the miller Warri waterside, from where they were conveyed by boat towards Ogbinbiri, her ancestral community in Egbema Kingdom.

One of the most touching moments of the departure was the emotional reaction of her senior daughter, Mrs. Moyor Okrika, and her second child, Chief Emmanuel Agbainfo, and others who were visibly overwhelmed with grief as their mother's remains left the mortuary. Their tears reflected the pain of losing a beloved mother whose place in the family cannot easily be filled.

For the Agbainfo family, it was not merely a burial procession but a painful farewell to a mother, grandmother and family matriarch whose presence, love, guidance and contributions formed an important part of their family history.

The gathering also provided an opportunity for relatives, community leaders, friends and sympathisers to demonstrate solidarity with the bereaved family, honour the deceased and celebrate the memories she leaves behind.

Late Mama Esther Suiweta James Agbainfo, who passed away on December 17, 2025, at the age of 89, is survived by four children, 33 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren, according to the family's burial announcement.

Her death represents a significant loss to her immediate family and the wider communities connected to her through marriage, ancestry and family relationships.

As her remains arrive in Ogbinbiri, attention turns to the final funeral activities, including the scheduled 1:00 p.m. Church programme organised by Progress Church, Asisabubotie Community, Ogbinbiri, followed by the family's social wake-keep.

The final homecoming is expected to bring together family members, friends, traditional stakeholders and community sympathisers to give the departed matriarch a befitting farewell.

While death has taken her physical presence away, the memories of her lifetime, the children and generations she nurtured, and the family legacy she leaves behind will remain enduring sources of remembrance.

Ogbinbiri, people extends its heartfelt condolences to the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives and the entire Agbainfo and Agbaibor families.

May Almighty God comfort the bereaved family, grant them the strength to bear this irreparable loss and give them the fortitude to preserve the cherished memories of their departed mother.

May the gentle soul of Late Mama Esther Suiweta James Agbainfo (née Agbaibor) rest in perfect peace. Amen.
