A Nigerian man, Simon Odo, popularly known as "King of Satan" has been buried in a car in his village in south-eastern Enugu State following his death at the age of 74, BBC News reports.
The car engine was on and Simon Odo's favourite song was played in the vehicle, which served as his coffin, according to those present.
It was the first time such a funeral had taken place in Aji village, locals said.
Mr Odo requested to be buried in this way, his son Uchenna Odo said.
The burial in an idling vehicle signified his smooth transit into his next world, some of his children said.
Odo had married 57 wives.
A few of his relatives, who BBC Igbo met during a visit to Aji village on Wednesday morning, said Mr Odo was a good man who shunned evil in his dealings with people.
Mr Odo died in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
During an interview with BBC Igbo in 2020, Mr Odo said he had inherited the practice of worshiping Satan from his parents and grandparents, who were Satanists, but he insisted that he did not help others to harm fellow human beings.
He said he had 57 wives and had lost count of the number of children and grandchildren he had.

Enugu’s popular native doctor, Simon Odo, who married 59 wives and sired over 300 children and grandchildren is dead. He died on Tuesday
His son, Emeka Odo, who confirmed the death of the septuagenarian, who answered ‘King of Satan,’ said his father died after a protracted illness and would be buried same day at his country home, Aji, in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, as he left instruction for the family not to deposit his remains in the mortuary upon death.
Emeka said: “Yes King of Satan is dead, he died this morning(yesterday). He has been down with illness for about three weeks now.”
His son added: “We are having family meeting to perfect arrangement for his burial as he left instruction that we should not deposit his corpse in a mortuary.”
Emeka, who would not respond to further questions, however, said the death of his father is a big blow to the family given the number of his family members.
At his residence in Aji, friends, kinsmen and well-wishers were seen trooping in their numbers in a shock and to sympathise with the family.
Vanguard gathered that the late native doctor married his 59th wife recently and had packed into his new house with her.
It will be recalled that while explaining why he married 58 wives, the late native doctor, who was also known as ‘Onuwa,’ had said: “If there are 20 dead men in Nigeria, for instance, only five of them died naturally.
“The other 15 were caused by heartbreaks and bad attitudes from their wives. That is why I marry anytime a woman insults me.”
