If a Dead Body Is Not Given Proper Funeral, the Car Carrying It Can Stop Working: Driver Makes Big Revelation

A hearse driver, Emmanuel Ako, has shared why he chose to transport the remains of the deceased from the mortuary to funeral homes and burial sites as a career.

According to Ako, he always had a passion for driving and wanted to work as an ambulance driver. He started learning to drive with his father at a young age and perfected the skill from a friend who taught him a few things.

Speaking in an interview with YEN TV, Emmanuel Kofi revealed that he is not afraid when driving the remains of the dead, saying he's never experienced an incident where a dead person stood up from the coffin.

Ako's first job

''I recently started the job, and I picked my first body at the Korle-Bu Medical School to Dzorwulu and later to Aburi [in the Eastern Region] for burial. I returned alone, and nothing happened," he told YEN TV.

Asked about angry dead people that sometimes prevent vehicles transporting them from moving till a ritual is performed, Kofi said:

"Yes, that happens when the person died before their time, so the family has to perform a ritual or poor libation before the car can move. Sometimes when you don't pour libation, the dead person can stop the car whilst transporting them," he said.

Unlike stories about other hearse drivers who drink alcohol or rely on external powers to do their job, Kofi disclosed that he does not use or depend on any spiritual powers.

Emmanuel Kofi, however, disclosed that he has a wife who is aware of his job, as she understands that he makes ends meet working as a hearse driver.

There is nothing like money ritual

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a popular Ghanaian traditional priest, Kwaku Bonsam, indicated that there is nothing like ritual money or money-doubling that ritualists are able to perform.

The famous traditional icon dared anyone who thinks he is wrong to come out and challenge him with any evidence that they may have.

Bonsam further stated that if it were possible to produce so much money, every ritualist would have been a millionaire and not be in the positions they are usually found in.
