The late couple, Mr. Lucky Ebhodaghe and Mrs. Margaret Ebhodaghe, and their son, Jonathan, were buried in their house around 12pm.
Residents, community leaders and members of the Deeper Life Bible Church, where the husband was a member of the prayer team and the wife, a worker in the ushering section, could not hide their grief.

It was reported that the assailants tore the window net and cut some burglar-proof bars to gain access into the house late Monday night.
The suspects were said to have inflicted machete cuts on the family members, leaving them for dead.
PUNCH Metro reported that their neighbours were not aware of the incident until the next day, when Jonathan’s friends and a teacher visited the house to know why he was not in school for his exams.
The visitors reportedly met the house locked and peeped through the window, from where they saw the victims in a pool of blood.
Margaret was alleged to have been raped by the assailants before she was killed.
Residents, who identified the killers as members of the Badoo cult, said the gang had killed many other residents in a similar way.
