Jane passed away on August 18. The cause of her death was, however, not disclosed.
Ahead of the funeral service, the family held a candlelight procession in her honour.

Wizkid has not been active on social media or in the public eye since the death of Jane.
The funeral service will be held at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) City of David, Victoria Island in Lagos.
Jane was born on July 14, 1957. The deceased is survived by Muniru Olatunji Balogun, her husband, and four children.
Her children are Yetunde Balogun, Omolara Osunkoya, Olubusayo Balogun, and Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun.
Wizkid grew up in a polygamous home with a Muslim father and a Christian mother.
In a 2012 radio interview with Tim Westwood, Wizkid revealed that his father has three wives.
The singer is known to be very fond of his mum.
In 2014, Wizkid released ‘Mummy Mi’, a song off his ‘Ayo’ album. The song was dedicated to mothers across the world.
The singer praised Jane for all the joy she gave to him. He also promised to spoil her with the finest things in life.
