“The restless spirits of unburied de@d bodies in mortuaries are continuously possessing the younger people” MASSOB calls for ban of mortuaries in Igboland

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has asked South-East governors and religious leaders to place a ban on keeping de@d bodies in the mortuaries. The group also called on churches to ban bringing in de@d bodies in caskets into the church during funerals. Comrade Uchenna Madu, Leader of MASSOB, made the call in a statement made available on Monday, March 10, per DailyPost. Madu said de@d bodies in mortuaries were wandering around without rest because they were not buried or committed to mother earth. The wandering and restless spirits of unburied dead bodies in mortuaries are continuously possessing the younger people, leading and influencing them into all manners of criminalities, evil and wicked acts without fear of the dire consequences of their actions. These spiritual influences have erased their godly consciences and replaced them with all kinds of immorality, lust for blood shedding, lust for wealth and mundane things. Madu said dead bodies in mortuaries were wandering around without rest because they were not buried or committed to mother earth. The wandering and restless spirits of unburied dead bodies in mortuaries are continuously possessing the younger people, leading and influencing them into all manners of criminalities, evil and wicked acts without fear of the dire consequences of their actions. These spiritual influences have erased their godly consciences and replaced them with all kinds of immorality, lust for blood shedding, lust for wealth and mundane things. This raging possession of Igbo Youths and young men have created a strong urge of getting quick wealth without meaningful work or trading. The tap root of all criminal tendencies, evil and wicked activities in the lives of the young men and women in our society is the possession and influence of the spirits of unburied dead bodies in mortuaries, he stated. MASSOB also urged church leaders to ban de@d bodies in caskets from churches. According to the group, The entrance of de@d bodies in a casket inside the house of God corrupts the holiness of the church. The spirit of a de@d person can never rest until it is buried. It is an abomination in Igbo traditional culture to keep a de!d body for more than four Igbo market days. MASSOB urges the Igbo traditional and religious leaders, including the Igbo governors to ban this trend of keeping de@d bodies in mortuaries. We appeal to our governors to ban mortuary businesses and services in Igbo land. The post “The restless spirits of unburied de@d bodies in mortuaries are continuously possessing the younger people” MASSOB calls for ban of mortuaries in Igboland appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
