Julius Agwu - Resurrection Story "How I Died And Rose Again Miraculously On My Way To The Mortuary"

Ace Comedian Julius Agwu in an exclusive interview he had with Saturday Beats has disclosed how he died but woke up as he was being taken to the mortuary while on a wheel.

Julius Agwu in his statement said;

“The truth is that I would not have been alive if not for God. I died and woke up; I literally died and woke up. I say that authoritatively because I know that I had an encounter with people that I know had died during that period.


I saw my father who died about 12 years ago; he was the one that came and chased me back to the world because it was not my time. I died here in Nigeria but woke up when they were taking me to the mortuary.

That was the first time I had a seizure in my house but my wife stood by me. God would keep on blessing my wife; I believe that God gave me my wife and I always thank him for her. I bless God that she stayed despite everything that happened to me. They were taking me to a mortuary but to God be the glory, my hand moved and that was the point they returned me to the hospital.
Here I am today. The encounter made me realize that there is nothing as good as rest. It is very important to sleep. I work so hard and I believe that of all comedians in Nigeria, I am the only one with so many brands, I have Crack Ya Ribs, Laff for Christ’s Sake and Festival of Love.”

According to one of the eye witnesses, she said that the security agents who was deployed to the scene of the crime were unable to curtail the criminals because they seems to have possessed more sophisticated weaponry than the police and so had a free day. The police were on the run as were the civilian passengers who narrowly excaped being massacre by the heartless and unchecked herdsmen.

One of the ladies who spoke on the voice message also pleaded with those who wanted to travel through Lagos/Benin expressway to have a change of mind or possible take another route if need be to avoid falling victim to the herdsmen onslaught. She also call on the government to put sentiment aside and check the activities of these so called herdsmen before it goes out of hand.

Many of the source we contacted confirmed the incident and condemned the heartless killings by the Herdsmen and also regretted that the government and the security agents could not check this hoodlums. Some of them believed the act was not in anyway, the act of robbery but a terrorist attack on the innocent citizen and wondered what the federal government is doing about the recent activities of the herdsmen in the country.

The questions in every mind at the moment are, why are these men killing their fellow citizen senselessly? is this another boko haram in disguise? does it mean that the government can't put a stop to this senseless killing before it set our dear country on unquenchable ethnic and political fire or do they have anything to gain in this? what is wrong with our country? don't we value human lives anymore? is there hope for us and the posterity? if there is, when, where, how, and who is to bring it to reality? These and many more like questions continually bug our minds until probably an answer to them is proffered but until we have to hope for the best for our dear country.
