Fear and panic gripped residents of Luk, a Togolese farming
community near Bunkpurugu in Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District of the Northern
Region, after a man resurrected seven days after his burial.
Konkper-Laar
Samuel, 22 was said to have died after a brief illness and was buried
at the family mausoleum with a stone and a piece of stick placed on his
grave as a symbol of separation of the bond between the living and the
dead.
According to their tradition, the seventh day was supposed
to be marked with a family gathering where issues regarding the
deceased’s property and debts, if he had incurred any whilst alive,
would be resolved.
As members of the family gathered at about 8
o’clock that morning, they were shocked to find the deceased entering
the house with the very clothes he was buried with. There was
pandemonium as there was a shout of ‘Run for your life’ and everyone was
running helter-skelter.
Some ran to the grave side to see if it had been opened but were more amazed when they found it intact.
As
news of his 'resurrection', spread, residents started fleeing the town,
as they were scared of living in the same town with a ghost.
The
family sent for the chief priest who questioned the boy on why he came
back. The deceased reportedly said he was sent back by his grandfathers
because his time was up on earth.
When journalists visited the
town to confirm the story, they were shown the grave and the 'ghost' but
were not allowed to take pictures.

However,
as the journalist were about to leave, Togolese gendarmerie (Togo
police) stormed the house, handcuffed the “ghost” and pushed him into a
waiting vehicle and whisked him away. (Naij)
