A Nigerian man has buried his father in a brand new BMW instead of a coffin in order to see him off in style in the local village graveyard. The wealthy son, identified only as Azubuike, lost his father, to old age but according to local reports had always promised him one day he would have a flash car.
So after he passed away in the remote village of Ihiala, Anambra state, Azubuike is reported to have splashed out £66,000 cash (over N40 million) on a car from the showroom to bury his father in.
An incredible photo taken at the funeral shows the enormous car being lowered into grave dug by hand in the village.
The picture has gone viral on social media as pall bearers reportedly guided it down logs into position and then the logs were pulled out to allow the BMW to drop.
According to reports, the son lost his father recently and decided to honour his father by buying him a luxurious car for his final journey and placed him inside.
Locals quipped that the BMW is equipped with Sat Nav to help him find his way to the pearly gates.
However, there is also another angle to the story, with some saying it’s a footage from a Nollywood movie.
