Kogi APC Gov Candidate, Abubakar
Audu Laid To Rest At his home town Ogbonicha.  The remains of former Kogi governor,
Prince Abubakar Audu was this afternoon
laid to rest at Ogbonicha, Ofu Local
Government Area.

The burial took place at his residence.
The burial rites were conducted by a team
of Imams from across Igalaland.
Controversy had trailed the burial of the
former governor when rumour filtered into
town that he had resurrected. A prophet had
earlier promised to revive Audu to life.
There was mild drama between the prophet
and members of the Audu family refused to
let him in. The youths of Ogbonicha broke
the door to the room where Audu was laid.
The prophet however failed to resurrect
Audu, prompting the youths to go berserk in
search of the prophet”s head.
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.
Many residents of Ogbonicha paid tribute to
arguably their most illustrious son.
Hajia Mariam said the death of Audu is an
irreparable loss not only to Igala Kingdom,
but Nigeria as a whole. She said the late
Audu will be greatly missed by the people of
Ogbonicha.
There was an ocean of tears when his body
was lowered into the grave.
