OMG !!! Man Weds Corpse in Ebonyi State

A strange scenario played out in Ebonyi State over the
weekend when a man, Onyema Orji, was forced to
officially 'wed' his dead ex-wife so that he could claim
his children from her family.
The incident which happened in Nwakpu community in
Ikwo Local Government Area of the state, according to
reports, was 'necessary' because Orji had divorced the
woman known as Blessing, and she left with their
children and later got married to another man.
After she died from a brief illness, Orji reportedly visited
the family with items for her burial ceremony and to
take home his children but was told by her family that
for him to claim the children, he had to perform the
traditional marriage rites on the late Blessing since he
had not performed the rites when they were married,
and to also enable him claim his kids.
Orji had no choice but to agree with the conditions so
that he could take his children home.
