Dràma at Burial as 4 Youths Jumps into Grave, Make 1 Demand to Church Before Friend is Buried

A burial ceremony turned tense after a group of young men reportedly climbed into an open grave and refused to leave until they were allowed to lower their friend's coffin themselves.

The incident, captured in a video that has since gone viral, shows four youths standing inside the grave while a pastor repeatedly appealed to them to wait until the church had concluded its burial rites. 

According to those present, the church programme had not yet ended, and the pastor insisted the coffin should only be lowered after the final prayers.

The young men, however, stood their ground, arguing that they wanted to personally lay their friend to rest before the ceremony continued.
