A young man known as Chikwado Eze has reportedly passed away after he was buried alive for fortification.

Chikwado Eze reportedly got a visa to travel abroad and happily travelled home to inform his father, who suggested that they visit a native doctor for fortification to ensure Chikwado's success abroad.

The native doctor advised that Chikwado should be buried alive for one hour, thirty minutes to undergo a spiritual process for his fortification, after which he would be exhumed. However, after the allotted time, when they exhumed him, he was already dead.
