group of men stormed the ceremony and demanded to beat the dead body before it
was buried.
Mourners
from all walks of life had gathered at the man’s place to bid him farewell. A
pastor who was meant to preside the ceremony arrived and all sat down waiting
for the service.
Prayers
and dirges filled the area as many paid their last respect to the dead. A gang
of at least 10 men stormed the ceremony and told the pastor to allow them
cleanse the dead man because he had committed some serious offenses when he was
alive.

Surprised
by the strange twist of events, the pastor stepped aside as the leader of the
gang started a conversation with the dead in a strange language. He then
ordered 5 men to line up with whips and beat the man in his coffin.
