She narrated how the problem persisted for about an hour, during which mourners, including the deceased man’s sons and his extended kinsmen, made several efforts to get the ambulance to open.

Traditional rites were performed and libations were poured as part of the attempts to address the situation.

All of those measures proved unsuccessful while the vehicle remained at the scene.

According to her explanation, the situation only changed the moment the ambulance arrived at the family compound.

It was at that point that the doors finally opened without further intervention.
