There was drama in a community in Delta State after a woman faked her d3ath to her parents.
The unusual occured when the parents of the young lady, identified as Rita residing at Sandfill 2, Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State, stormed her abode with a casket after feigning death.
Rita is said to have deceived her parents (name withheld) that she was dead following her protracted illness.
The bereaved parents were said to have bought a casket for her funeral.
Rita, a single mother of three, took ill after the death of her fiance two years ago.
A pastor allegedly prayed with her and promised to help her for a fee of N30,000.
Rita solicited her parent’s support to no avail so she arranged with neighbours to inform the parents that she had died.
Rita’s parents on hearing the news hurriedly acquire a casket to lay her to rest.
The drama started when the casket was brought to the location where their daughter, Rita resides, only to see her alive.
“The parents were shocked when they saw their daughter alive.” An eyewitness said.
The resultant confusion led to gathering of neighbours and passersby who brokered peace between parents and daughter due to the embarrassment.
The eyewitness stated that such an incident is viewed as a taboo in the area and the casket had to be destroyed before Rita parents took her home with her kids
