There was commotion in Warri, Delta state
yesterday after a 15-year-old girl who was
presumed to have died suddenly woke as she
was about to be buried at the Warri Cemetery.
The girl, whose name could not be ascertained
at press time, reportedly died at about 5a.m.
yesterday and was wrapped in a mat and placed
on top of the soak away at Warri Motor Park.
It was learnt that the girl suspected to be
pregnant, allegedly took concoction and went
into deep sleep which ostensibly made people
suspect she might have given up the ghost.
It was learnt that sympathisers made up mostly
of youths saw her completely naked and
presumed that she had died, wrapped her in mat
and headed for the cemetery.
“When we got to the cemetery, the workers there
dug the grave for her burial. As the remains were
laid into the grave and they were about covering
it with sand, the deceased sneezed and jumped
out of the grave and started shouting,” said a
witness.
Consequently, there was pandemonium within
and outside the cemetery as scores of people
thronged the cemetery to catch a glimpse of the
‘resurrected’ girl.
Sources, however, stated that the girl was
immediately rushed to Christ Mercyland
Deliverance Ministry, Effurun, near Warri for
spiritual cleansing.
Attempt by policemen near the cemetery to take
the girl to the station was rebuffed by
sympathisers who insisted that the matter did
not concern the police. They said it was a
spiritual issue.
