A thanksgiving service celebrating a retired school principal's survival of an automobile accident ended in an anti climax when the celebrant died inside the church after a session of vigorous dancing.
The incident happened around 11am on Sunday during church service at Redeemed People’s Mission Church in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital.
A member of the congregation said that the celebrant had been involved in a road accident which confined him to the hospital for one year and had come to the church on the fateful day to formally appreciate the mercy of God in healing him.
“It was indeed a strange incident. When he had an accident and spent a year in the hospital he didn’t die, but after recovering and deciding to come and appreciate God, he died.
“That fateful day, it was as if he knew he was going to die. The way he danced that day,we had never seen him dance like that. He even read his biography to the congregation and after that, returned to his seat, and after a while he died while seated.
“When members of the church were not convinced of his death, they quickly rushed him to the Federal Medical Center, Jalingo where the doctor later certified him dead. But the church members dissatisfied with the doctor’s confirmation, insisted that he was only sleeping and that he would wake up at the right time, but after they prayed for hours and he didn’t wakeup they gave up hope,” he said.
