Means, I did my NYSC in a village(umuber indiagu) very close to ebenebe and also visit
Amansea every weekend for EPL matches, nothing is new to me.....they all want to drive
Jeep.

am sorry to say this but you are a big Fool with capital letter F. change your mind set before is too late for you. Where you told their body parts were incomplete? Do you have to move around with your jealousy? you mean after doing your service there, you can't still spell the name of the town and if they ask graduates to queue up,you will come and join the queue.

Thank you, sister. You responded well to him. I keep wondering why he came out alive, with his body parts intact, after 11 months of NYSC.

Secondly, It's so unfortunate that a so-called graduate cannot spell the name of the village he served.

I'm curious; who do you think he's jealous of and why do you think he's jealous?

The fact that people did not report their loved ones missing leaves the folks in Awka to suspect that these may be prisoners and detained folks killed by the police and dumped in the river if indeed the story is true.
I hope the authorities get to the bottom of this sad story
Then again I wonder
How can this happen and nobody captured a picture of the bodies floating in the river
We see bodies of victims all the time,why is this picture missing?
Re: Dead Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River by Nobody: 10:51pm On Jan 20, 2013
omenziate: Saw the shocking news on StV, though no bodies. Could have been thing though from murder to boat mishap. Only God knows. RIP to the victims


How can a TV house report this story and there was no live shot with their correspondence on site showing the bodies floating by?
It sounds like a hoax
This story as big as this cannot be complete without pictures

You are a bit late to the party so stop making noise. The pics were taken off for obvious reasons.
Re: Dead Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River by logica(m): 11:02pm On Jan 20, 2013
I believe from just a look at the bodies, a quick guess at the cause of death(s) can be reached: any visible wounds/no visible wounds for instance can tell a lot.

Oh, the person you first asked for the link STILL has the picture attached to his post. If it is not showing for you, then something (maybe firewall) is blocking it.

I want a link to the picture showing where it came from
I can see the picture with bloated bodies about 5 or so on a dirty river
Those are decomposing bodies that have been in the water a while,I thought I read that they were fresh looking

Thank you
I went digging and found the channels TV news complete with a video clip

Over 15 dead bodies, all male, were (yesterday) found floating on Ezu, a river at the boundary between Anambra and Enugu states.

The decomposing bodies without any noticeable body mutilations or injuries could not be identified by the people of Amansea community who live in the area on Anambra state side of the divide.


Eyewitnesses told Channels Television that the bodies were discovered in the early hours of the morning when they went to fetch water.

Anambra and Enugu states Commissioners of Police who visited the area said investigation will commence to unravel the mysterious incident.

The river is the only source of water for the five communities of Amansea, Ebenebe, Ugbenu, Ugbene and Oba-Ofemili and the development had caused a lot of discomfort to the people.

Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Bala Nasarawa, who shuddered at such inhuman and ugly incident, said investigation in to the matter will commence immediately while his Enugu counterpart, Musa Daura, maintained that Enugu and Anambra enjoy relative peace and so could not decipher where the corpses were coming from.

Daura wondered how the avalanche of dead bodies got there because he had not heard of any communal clash whether in Enugu or Anambra where many people were killed”.

Anambra State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Lawrence Ikeafor, also wondered where the dead bodies could be coming from as there are no communal clashes within the state or even in neighboring Enugu state. He however advised the villagers not to fetch water from the river until the bodies are cleared and buried.

[size=18pt]The bodies are all males
with no missing parts
so ritual killings are ruled out moreover ritual killings will not selectively target one gender
Not from communal clashes either since there will be males females and children involved and none has been reported in the area
Not kidnapped victims because it won't just be selectively males and there are no immediate reports of missing persons
The only thing i suspect is extra judicial killings by the police and dumped into the river
That is the only thing that fits here

People with detained loved ones in that area ought to go check up on them in the cells,they may have been killed
Tons of touts and barrow pushers are rounded up and arrested by the police pretending to solve crimes
I am suspecting the Nigerian police until proven otherwise[/size]

Even you quoted the article as saying "no visible body mutilations or injuries"; yet you arrived at the conclusion it was the police. How do you think the police would kill without leaving injuries? You think the police gassed them or poisoned them?

This doesn't make sense.

You don't believe ritual killings will target one gender, yet you want to believe that judicial killings done by police men are gender-selective?

logica: Even you quoted the article as saying "no visible body mutilations or injuries"; yet you arrived at the conclusion it was the police. How do you think the police would kill without leaving injuries? You think the police gassed them or poisoned them?

Even the rascals in police uniform in the Southeast won't kill 50 people and get away with it this easily.

Were they MASSOB men?

A strangled person will not show mutilations on their decaying bodies neither will someone beaten up
Ritual killings will have body parts missing and that will be pretty obvious
So far all 15 bodies bodies according to the clip are males
Some Massob or Biafra secessionist group was arrested en masse not too long ago,I hope their relatives go to inquire about them,that could be their bodies
Re: Dead Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River by Nobody: 12:01am On Jan 21, 2013
50 LIVES JUST WASHED AWAY

Yet no REASONABLE explanation for their demise.

Where no ID cards found them?

Re: Dead Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River by Nobody: 12:04am On Jan 21, 2013
How 50 bodies fit float for 3 days without anyone noticing?

No person reported missing?

No one looking for a brother, son, or husband?

Body ritualist prolly didn't have time to get what they want before dumping the bodies in water.

There are always more men in prison than women, all over the world
90% or more of incarcerated persons are males and here in America with police brutality in and outside jails,the victims are always males
It has to be the same in Nigeria
They kill the men,they leave the women to gratify their sexual urges
The key to solving this crime will be the family members
I hope the bodies are still identifiable

Wati wrote above is my hunch on this story based on the evidence from the story so far

It is not easy to cover up 50 missing men from a federal/state jail/prison.

I'm sure that your Governor is smart enough to check it out.

This event is simply shrouded in mystery, even for government officials.

Impossible, even for Nigeria.

Anything is possible in Nigeria
Remember that there is no data of arrested folks logged into any computer database in Nigeria
There are no fingerprints of arrested folks in any computers as is the custom here
Everything is written in a dirty log book if it is at all documented and all they need to do is do away with that log book or rip out the sheets and the record is gone.
Re: Dead Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River by Nobody: 12:21am On Jan 21, 2013
I don't even know how Nigeria solves crime or plans to ever get a hold of crime solving because many Nigerians have no ID, there is no modern way of processing criminals when apprehended,there is no way of knowing who is who decisively
A man can commit a crime in Enugu and say his name is Chika Chude,he is released and next day he can commit another crime and give his name as Sylvester Okoro
Same man.
He can move to Calabar and claim his name is Udo Iniobong,that becomes his name
Meanwhile his real name could be something entirely different from all three
There is no fingerprint anywhere to tell anyone that this is the same man
Scary
There should be an equivalent of social security number and a national ID,without it,we can never get a hold of the crime in Nigeria

Unless prisoners didn't notice 50 fewer buddies, then it's impossible.

Who does it benefit to dispose of 50 prisoners? And why dispose of them in a river that'd eventually wash up their bodies to where they'd be found?

Were the bodies found in prison uniform?

if they were actually all males like you said, then there is a possibility that they went for oil bunkering

The people reporting are not pathologists
They are giving a gross description by novice eyes
Signs of beatings will not be apparent on a decomposed swollen body don't you think?

I am merely pointing out how ridiculous your "theories" are based on the reported conditions of the corpses. I am sorry, but I have no theories to offer. I am not in the business of forecasting or kalo-kalo. All I can tell is, based on the report, they cannot be victims of police extrajudicial killings.
