burial<\/a> and he must not be embalmed with Formaline, arrangements were said to have been made for his burial two days later.<\/p>\nSurprisingly, the native doctor rose from the casket he was kept in as arrangements were being made to take his corpse to the graveyard, causing the crowd that had gathered for his burial to run in different directions.<\/p>\n
The \u2018resurrection\u2019 of Amadu two days after his \u2018death\u2019 turned him into an overnight celebrity as people came from far and near to confirm what had happened.<\/p>\n
Sharing his experience in an interview, Amadu, who said he has abandoned his career as a native doctor to become an evangelist, recalled that before his sickness and eventual \u2018death\u2019 on September 5, he had enjoyed good health and fully attended to patients who came from far distances to his village.<\/p>\n
But sometime in July, he began to feel pains in his chest and legs. He said his legs were swollen and he tried treating himself as a native doctor but there appeared to be no improvement, prompting his two eldest children based in Abuja and one of his daughters based in Lafia to rush him to the Federal Medical Centre in Keffi.<\/p>\n
At the hospital in Keffi, he was admitted for two weeks after which he was discharged and certified fit. But a week after he returned home, he developed severe chest pain.<\/p>\n
He told his children who had gone back to their stations not to take him to the hospital again and also told them repeatedly not to keep his corpse longer than two or three days before burial.<\/p>\n
With his condition getting worse, however, his children defied his instruction and returned him to a private hospital in a nearby community where he could get preliminary attention before he would be transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Keffi where he had been treated before. There, doctors battled to save his life before they thought he had given up the ghost and prepared him for burial.<\/p>\n
Also speaking with our correspondent, the eldest son, Jacob, who said his father was declared dead while he was travelling from Abuja to see him on his sick bed in Nasarawa State, said: \u201cI got to the hospital at about 10 am on September 5 and the mortician at the hospital wheeled out the trolley containing my father and unveiled his face for me to see, and it was indeed my father.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe advised the hospital not to embalm him because he actually told us repeatedly not to embalm him when he dies and to bury him immediately rather than keep his corpse inside a room.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we hurriedly left for the village to mobilise young men to help dig his grave so that we could bury him the second or third day as he had wished.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn September 7, we brought his corpse to the village in a casket to bury him and sympathisers around the community were crying while others assembled in different locations discussing the sad event of his passing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile his body had been displayed in an open roof where he normally attended to his patients as a native doctor, the children brought the casket and put his body inside, preparatory for his burial, but he suddenly doctor rose from the casket.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were in the village when we suddenly saw the casket shaking and eventually fell and my father woke up to the surprised of many people in the village. A lot of the men and women who had gathered ran away, believing that it was his ghost.<\/p>\n
\u201cI summoned courage as a man to walk up to him and got a seat for him to sit on. He was not talking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI later held his hand and led him to the bathroom. He had a bath and after a few hours, he requested for food. He ate and then relaxed. \u201cIn the evening of the next day, he started talking a little and on the third day, he tried to narrate his experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with our correspondent one week after he \u2018resurrected\u2019, Amadu said he could not fully recollect all that transpired during his struggles in the throes of death except that he was writhing in pains at one moment, felt relieved moments later and found himself in another world.<\/p>\n
Amadu said: \u201cI thank God that he has given me life again after tasting death. It is a miracle that God gave me a second chance and I think I will dedicate the days he has given me to live again to worship him and preach his gospel.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy journey to heaven was a tranquil one. I feel very confused about what God has done to me. All I can remember for now is that I lost my memory when I was sick, but people later gathered in my village to mourn my passing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cloud opened up and I saw something like a giant golden satellite suspended in space. I wouldn\u2019t know whether this is what the bible calls heaven, but there I was greeted by a 75ft tall angel who stood in front of the gate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe angel had a beautiful sword and wore something like golden hair. As I looked round, I discovered that there were two other angels behind him holding pamphlets and books containing the words of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe three angels had a brief discussion among themselves and later allowed me into the city of heaven.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn entering the city, I met a childhood friend who died 22 years ago. His name was Choko Aguma. He was the one who took me round the city where everybody was committed to worshipping God.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe indeed asked after so many people but I told him I lost touch with some, that some were still alive while others had died long ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout 450 yards from what looked like the throne of God, I was captivated by the sign on the outside that read \u2018Unaccounted blessings and Mercy of God\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I can comfortably confirm to you that I went to heaven and not hell fire, and I have returned successfully with the courage to preach the gospel till the end of my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have given my life to God. He is real.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile in heaven, I was told how my children struggled to save my life when I fell sick. I was equally told about my activities as a native doctor, all the events leading to my death and how preparation for my burial was ongoing when Christ appeared and raised me up from death.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was told that Christ woke me up because if I was taken to the grave in the casket covered with sand, it would be very difficult for me to come back because I would lack the strength to pull out of the graveyard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI woke up and I felt cold. I came out of the casket gently and people who came to console my wife and children started running instead of coming to rescue me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amadu added: \u201cI thank God because I know He heard the prayers of my children who had wished that I stay up to 86 years to see them become influential and responsible members of the society, where the entire community look up to them. Thank God Almighty, their faith has brought me back to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
He described the land of death as peaceful, quiet and tranquil.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe place is filled with myriads of angels who are very tall, and there is light everywhere. There is no darkness as the angels were talking about Jesus Christ all the time, from morning throughout.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is about what the bible says about Jesus Christ and everyone there is committed to the bible and its teachings by the angels, and this notion convinced me to change completely and return to Christ as my personal saviour.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am no more a native doctor and I believe Jesus Christ is the way. He can heal and wake up the dead. \u201cWhile in the cool city of heaven, I saw alot of my childhood friends, age mates and some of the girls I \u2018toasted\u2019 while growing up who died so many years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome could not recognise me because I had become very old. They are all there enjoying life to the fullest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Juliana, Abawa, who were my girlfriends. They now share gospel words in the city. I also saw Abunagu, Tongee Thomas, Ishaya Again who were my aged grades. They were very happy to see me join them in the cool city.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey asked after so many people who I know had died but were not in the city, probably they are on the other side. \u201cI look for my father and mother but didn\u2019t see either of them; maybe they are also on the other side.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere, food is served free and in large quantity. Heaven is indeed an interesting place and I wish I never came back to the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut now that I am back in the world I will dedicate the rest of my life on earth to the service of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recalling the experience, his wife, Mrs Salomi Amadu, said she was shocked that her husband came back to life after two days.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cInitially, I was scared of going close to him. That made my eldest son to spend some time with us in the village to make sure that we are not afraid. \u201cBut gradually, we are recovering from the shock to relate with him<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is most encouraging is that he prays all through since he resurrected. He is a complete man of God, though I have not started sleeping with him in the same house and he has not requested for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it is okay. We thank God that he is back, this time as a man of God. That is what I can say for now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amadu\u2019s younger brother, Philip Amadu, said it was actually a mystery to everyone in the village. \u201cIn fact, some people don\u2019t believe it till now, but we are here monitoring him alongside his eldest son to see what further miracle God will do.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a man who was dead. This kind of miracle is strange to us, but I can\u2019t say anything more for now.\u201d<\/p>\n
His eldest son, Jacob, also said he would not comment on the matter until further developments occur.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cPersonally, I don\u2019t even want the public and the world to know about this development because a lot of people will read different meanings to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will draw attention to this small community, so I wouldn\u2019t want to talk much about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven me, I am scared. I saw my dad\u2019s dead body at the hospital. I personally bought his casket and saw them take him into the casket. His coming back to life at the peak of his burial arrangements shocked me completely. I am speechless.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
