Confusion at Abubakar Audu Burial Preparation as "Prophet" Tries to Revive Him..(see)
Tension has gripped Ogbonicha, the home of
the All Progressives Congress gubernatorial
candidate in the Saturday election in Kogi
State, Abubakar Audu, following the delay in
the burial of the politician, who died Sunday
evening. Mr. Audu’s burial was initially fixed
for 10am (today) Monday, a situation which
made friends and relatives to besiege his
palatial home early in the day. But after
waiting endlessly without the burial taking
place, angry mourners started demanding
his corpse be brought out.
To forestall the breakdown of law and order,
security personnel blocked the main
entrance to the late politician’s home.
Our correspondent said, did not deter the
angry relations as many of them forced their
way into the compound. “Some of the
relations banged repeatedly at the door of
the room where the corpse of the late APC
candidate is kept awaiting burial,” said the
reporter. At point, a cleric was taking into
the house to pray and possibly revive the
late politician.
Our reporter said, “Interesting twist as
prophet seeks to pray for Audu’s corpse and
bring him back to life Security inside and
family members would have none of it but
angry youths break the door open “The
prayer man has successfully been forcefully
taken in by the wish of the crowd and they
have all joined in the prayers for the
resurrection of Audu with Holy Ghost fire
renting the air as well as shouts of Allahu
Akbar. ”Dino Melaye and some family
members came out through the back door to
calm the angry crowd. While they are largely
engaged in fervent prayers others are
weeping loudly by the door. ”As men and
women of faith engage in fervent prayers to
bring Audu back to life others are digging
his grave in one end of the compound.” His
burial has now been fixed for 2 PM. Mr.
Audu died a few hours before the election
was declared inconclusive by the
Independent National Electoral Commission.
He had the highest number of votes ahead
of 21 other candidates in the election,
including the incumbent, Idris Wada, who
ran on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
