A hospital in Nigeria has told the BBC it is overwhelmed by the number of corpses  being brought to them by the police.
The Chief Medical Director at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu  says his staff are being forced to carry out mass burials.
He says that another mass burial is planned to take place soon.
Nigeria’s police have faced strong criticism from human rights group for carrying out  extrajudcial and arbitrary killings.
The BBC has visited the morgue and taken photographs. The images are disturbing.
They show piles of young men, lying on top of one another and strewn about on tables  and floors.
In places the corpses are stacked four or five deep.
Records show 75 corpses were delivered to the morgue by police between June and 26  November this year.
The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Anthony Mbah, says his staff were  forced to carry out a mass burial of between 70 and 80 bodies some weeks ago.
The BBC has established at least seven people were last seen alive in police custody.
They were arrested, accused of kidnapping, and paraded alive in the media in early  September.But their names appear in the morgue register - on 15 and 16 of September.
The Police Commissioner in Enugu State, Mohamed Zarewa, todl the BBC he was unaware of  the number of young men lying dead in the morgue.
He says his officers are forced to engage armed robbers in gunfights and that many  police officers are also killed.
He insists that his police force operate within the law.
When asked about the seven men who disappeared in police custody, he told the BBC he  was too busy to talk about it.
