Corrupt Ugandan Man Buried With Sh5.7Million For Bribing God In Heaven

Well it seems like as the end of the world draws nearer, we'll be reading as many bizzare stories as we can across the world.

Forget the; 'A cow born with a human head' kinda stories because our neighbours Uganda have just set a new trend if not a record, in terms of winning God's heart ahead of judgement day.

According to  a man has attracted worldwide headlines after he was buried with 200 million Ugandan shillings ,which is equivalent to Sh5.7Million Kenyan shillings and what was it for? Wait for it; " To bribe the Almighty Father on Judgement Day so He could forgive his earthly sins."

One Charles Obong, aged 52,  worked as a senior personnel officer in the ministry of Public Service from 2006 to 2016, reportedly wanted to use the cash to redeem his soul before God.

Obong died on December 17, 2016, after a long illness and was buried at his ancestral home at Adag-ani village, Bar-pii parish, Aromo Sub-county in Lira District, on Christmas Eve.

He was buried in a metallic coffin estimated to have cost Shs20,000. Well how weird is that? He was buried with all those millions in a tens of thousands worth coffin?

The Aromo Sub-county chairman, Mr David Elic, said his brother-in-law had left behind a Will, dictating that upon his death, his wife Ms Margaret Obong should deposit huge sums of money in his coffin.

He planned to convey the money to God as an offertory so that the Almighty Father could forgive his sins and save him from hellfire.

He reportedly also instructed his brother Justin Ngole and sister Hellen Aber to bear witness to ensure his wife follows his testament to the letter and secures the money in his coffin.

But relatives and local leaders who attended the deceased’s sendoff said the Will was mute on the sins Obong wanted to make amends for as he served in public office, including at the Public Service ministry.

Public service has been engulfed in pension scam scandals which cost government about Shs257 billion. The money was stolen by senior government officials.

But Mr Obong’s Will was violated as his body was exhumed last Saturday and the money withdrawn from the grave and his would-be planned penitence before God frustrated.

Oh God am done.
