Most of us fear death. The thought of it fills most of us with fear. However, this is not a similar case to an 87-year-old man, Aloise Otieng’.
Aloise Otieng’, an older man who hails from Busia has for the third time bought a coffin worth 58, 000 shillings in preparations for his death. He first bought a coffin in 2009 and another one in 2012. He later said that the coffins went out of fashion and that they should be used as firewood. Ten years later, Mr. Otieng again shocked Busia residents by purchasing another coffin.

Surprisingly, Mr. Otieng’ got inside the coffin in rehearsal of how he would like to be carried during his burial.
