“Some of the relations banged repeatedly at the door of the room where the corpse of the late APC candidate is kept awaiting burial,” a reporter monitoring the burial said.
“A cleric was reportedly seen taken into the house to pray and possibly revive the late politician. “Interesting twist as prophet seeks to pray for Audu’s corpse and bring him back to life. The prayer man has 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.”
