Man pulls mammoth crowd as he attempts to raise woman who died by roadside in Ikorodu (video)
A man caused a stir in Ikorodu when he attempted to raise a woman who allegedly died in mysterious circumstances by the roadside in Aruna area of Ikorodu.
The footage of the incident has now gone viral.
The clip shows a man dressed in a pair of white trousers and an adire top trying to lift the person and then proceeding to lay the body flat on the ground.
The person doing the recording said the man was told that the woman had been dead since the previous day and was yet to be packed, but he reportedly insisted that he could raise her.
The man can be seen pouring something that appears to be bottled water on the deceased. After a while, he resorts to rubbing parts of the body of the dead person.
The person giving an account of the incident said the man laboured fruitlessly for over an hour before giving up.
An Instagram user with the username, ‘slime__ball’ who claims to live in the area said that area boys later assaulted the gentleman after he failed to raise the dead, as they accused him of wasting their time.
Some others reportedly tried to lynch him for being a fake pastor or a ritualist. He was saved by good Samaritans.
