Mayor Jim Watson’s office has confirmed he will attend the funeral today for Abdirahman Abdi at the city’s main Muslim mosque on Northwestern Avenue at 12:30 p.m.
“At the request of the family, Mayor Watson is attending Mr. Abdi’s funeral today,” the mayor’s office said in a release.
Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said Friday morning he would not be attending the funeral but there are “Somali officers who will be attending along with their community.”
The Abdi family has said that Ontario Attorney General and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi will attend the service.
Abdi died following a violent confrontation with Ottawa police in front of his Hintonburg apartment building last Sunday.
Watson has been on vacation at an undisclosed location.
There had been questions raised publicly about his low profile on the affair.
It took two days before his office released a message saying he was “saddened” by the death.
“I am confident that Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit will conduct a fair and thorough investigation that will provide comprehensive insight into this tragic incident,” the short statement concluded.
