 Clifford Osawaru

A 65 year old man was stunned beyond comprehension when he saw obituary posters of himself posted around some areas in Benin.

 

Clifford Osawaru, said he got the shock of his life when friends alerted him that posters announcing his death and funeral arrangements, were posted all over town. The posters were pasted on some streets in Okunmwun community, Ovia North East LGA of Edo State yesterday.

 

The man who said he was hale and hearty wondered why anyone would print his obituary.

 

"When I am alive, they said I am dead. This is not life at all" he said referring to the names printed on the poster.

 

He said he had served the community for over 20 years and didn't deserve to be treated this way. He called on security agencies to look into the matter.
