Drama Trails Audu's Death As Prophet Fails To Resurrect Him

It is another scene at the burial ceremony of the late Abubarka Audu in Kogi State as a group of cleric show up led by a prophet who claimed to have been invited to pray to revive the politician back to life.

This interesting twist brought some frenzy into the crowd, who against all hopes, waited with bated breath for the unexpected to happen. Immediately, rumour began to filter into town and social media that the former governor had been resurrected.

At the scene, there was mild drama between the prophet and members of the Audu family, who had refused to let him in. The youths of Ogbonicha broke the door to the room where Audu was laid to allow the prophet gain access.

“The prayer man was allowed to enter the room according to the wish of the crowd and they all joined in the prayers for the resurrection of Audu with Holy Ghost fire renting the air as well as shouts of Allahu Akbar.

However, the prophet failed to resurrect Audu, prompting the youths to go berserk, threatening to kill the prophet.

The burial was well attended as scores of the who-is-who in Nigerian politics as well as members of the business community were in Ogbonicha to give their last respect to the departed hero.

There was an ocean of tears when his body was eventually lowered into the grave at past 2.00pm. The burial rites were conducted by a team of Imams from across Igalaland.

Painful exit.
