A yet-to-be identified man has d*ed while attempting to exhume a c*rpse at a cemetery in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The deceased who was said to have been removing c*rpses’ skulls was alleged to have been held down on the grave by a ghost at the cemetery.
Chief Imam of the Oke-Ona community, Alhaji Musiliu Nasir in a chat with Community Echo said, “It was early this morning that people came to me that they saw someone fell down at the cemetery, and when we got there we found out that he actually came to operate there.
“Initially, many of them have been coming to dig grave and steal c*rpse’s skull, and we have tried to prevent that by hiring vigilante to secure the mortuary, we haven’t seen such a misery before, this is the first that was caught on act. And we have reported it to the police”.
Residents of the area said the man d*ed in a pool of his bl**d, with several of them believing that he must have been struck d*ad by a ghost. They added that the body was whisked away by police with some instruments found with him, such as cutl*ss, knife and a mobile phone.
However, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the police spokesperson in Ogun State, confirmed the incident on Wednesday. He said he could not confirm what k*lled the man, adding that the c*rpse has been deposited in a mortuary in Abeokuta. [Swipe for GRAPHIC content]
