Man buried his father in BMW

Nigerian, June 13: A Nigerian man sent off his father in style by buying a new and expensive BMW car to bury his father, instead of using a coffin.

The man, identified as Azubuike, who lost his father due to old age in the village of Ihiala, supposedly splashed £88,000 cash on the car to bury his father in.

Reports said that Azubuike had promised his father that one day he would have a flash car.

His act of burying his father in an expensive car did not go down well with many internet users. Some asked on social media why he did not buy the car while he was still alive and according to sources, Azubuike was not able to do so as he did not have enough money then.

Some termed his gesture as 'stupid', while the others tagged their friends and said, "bury me in a chartered plane".
