The mild drama that erupted between the prophet and members of the Audu family, who had refused to let him in to resurrect Abubakar Audu, led the youths of Ogbonicha to break the door to the room where Audu was laid to allow the prophet gain access.

However, the prophet failed to resurrect Audu, prompting the youths to go berserk, threatening to kill the prophet.

The burial was well attended as scores of the who-is-who in Nigerian politics as well as members of the business community were in Ogbonicha to give their last respect to the departed hero.
