After ghastly accident:

Miracle Okada rider dies and resurrects in K’ba
By Sirri Ntonifor Tangwe in Kumba
A popular Kumba-based biker named Modeste alias One Spirit, has gone on a publicity spree to debunk information propagated by some local radios that he was dead and buried. Modeste says the radio announcement which he also listened to was false and unverified.
    The story of Modeste’s passing originated when commercial motorbike riders in Kumba lost a colleague and assembled at the Kumba District Hospital Mortuary for the coffining. Upon removal from the mortuary the coffin bearing the lost colleague was tied on the back seat of Modeste’s bike, as the riders set out riding around the town, displaying their mastery of the two-wheeled vehicle and with some taking dangerous risks while honking their horns to draw attention.
    The gladiatorial show was not however to last long, as no sooner did the bikers hit the road to Small Ekombe for the burial than the worst occurred. Approaching the Kake rain gate, Modeste who was carrying the coffin had a ghastly accident. As he maneuvered to get passed the small opening at the rain gate his bike glided on the slippery mud, flinging the coffin on the ground. The coffin got shattered letting the corpse to roll off on the ground. Modeste, the unfortunate rider went into a coma and was rushed to the hospital. He regained consciousness only the following morning and this was not before his colleagues had already proclaimed him dead and even announced his funeral program for the following Friday.

    Speaking to The Median, Modeste aka One Spirit explained that the accident occurred after the colleague whose body he was transporting suddenly appeared in front of his bike in the guise of an angel. He said he wiped his eyes several times to be sure that what he was seeing was real, but the apparition was still there. He said all he can still recall is that he tried to ride past the ghost; the rest of what happened can only be told by his colleagues and other onlookers at the scene.
    Modeste said that while he was still unconscious his friend spoke with him on two occasions. He said his dead colleague, with tears in his eyes, reassured him that he meant no harm when he appeared in front of him on the road; the colleague said he simply wanted to prevent an even graver accident occurring.
    According to One Spirit, his deceased friend also instructed him to convey a message to his mother, asking her to go to one of his business partners and collect the sum of 700.000 FCFA, which money was supposed to be paid within a week.
    In the emotion-filled aftermath of the accident, Modeste has announced that he would no longer be professionally referred to as ‘One Spirit’ but, in gratitude for another chance to live, he would now be called, ‘Miracle’.
