Cemetery workers caught stealing heads from five newly buried corpses in Ondo
Four cemetery workers have been arrested in Akure, the Ondo State capital, for allegedly decapitating five fresh corpses in Ondo.
WuzupNigeria reports that the four suspects – Adewale Abiodun, 40; Akinola Sunday, 69 and Oluwadare Idowu, 67 and Olomofe, 45 – were caught with the heads.
It was gathered that the four were caught red-handed cutting the head of a corpse by family members of the deceased.
The family members were said to have returned to the cemetery to make arrangements on how to concrete the grave hours after the burial was concluded.
On meeting the culprits, they alerted the state Special Anti-Robbery Squad [SARS] who arrested them.
The SARS operatives discovered that the suspects already had fresh four severed heads and a female human head.
“As they were trying to exhume the corpse, some family members of the deceased came back to the cemetery with some bricklayers to cement the grave and caught them in the act,” an eyewitness said.
“lt was when we caught them in the act which led to their beating that we discovered that they were in possession of a female human head and four other fresh severed heads.
“We immediately contacted men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) who came to pick them up.”
