According to Martin’s emotional account shared online, the confusion began after an alleged administrative error led to his name being entered into official records as deceased. .WATCH THE VIDEO.
Unaware of the mistake at first, he only discovered the situation when he attempted to access his bank account and was told his records had been permanently frozen due to a “death declaration.”
“Nilijikuta nimezikwa kabla sijafa,” he said, describing the moment he realized he had been officially registered as dead while still alive.
Martin claims that following the declaration, his financial life came to a complete standstill. Bank accounts were locked, property transactions were halted, and legal ownership of some assets became entangled in succession procedures that treated him as deceased.
He further alleges that attempts to correct the error have been slow and frustrating, involving repeated visits to government offices, lengthy verification processes, and conflicting information from different departments.
The situation has reportedly left him stranded financially, unable to fully access his own wealth or carry out normal transactions, despite presenting identification and proof of identity..WATCH THE VIDEO.
The viral video has sparked widespread reactions online, with many users expressing shock at how a clerical or bureaucratic mistake could lead to such extreme consequences. Others have called for urgent reforms in civil registration systems to prevent similar cases in the future.
Authorities have not yet issued a detailed public statement regarding Martin’s specific case, and the claims remain based on his personal account shared online.
As the story continues to trend, many are demanding answers and faster resolution for individuals who find themselves trapped in administrative identity errors of this magnitude..WATCH THE VIDEO.
