The remains of former Kogi governor, Prince Abubakar Audu was
this afternoon laid to rest at Ogbonicha, Ofu Local Government Area. The burial
rites were conducted by a team of Imams from across Igalaland at his residence.
Controversy had trailed the burial of the former governor when
rumour went into town that he had resurrected. A prophet had earlier promised
to revive Audu to life.
There was 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.
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.
