The corpse of a 47-year-old staff of the College of Education, Oro in Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Mr. Kunle Salami who was killed by lightning was on Tuesday exhumed and reburied at the Ilorin Muslim cemetery.

The deceased, who was a Muslim was reportedly struck to death by thunder on September 20, 2017 at the football field of the College during a prolonged rain that lasted for about nine hours.

Some traditional religion worshippers were said to have later performed some rites on the corpse before it was taken away for burial. On getting to the Ilorin Muslim cemetery, his corpse was rejected by the management of the cemetery and was later buried at a Christian cemetery, Okeose on Sept. 21.

Some days after, the management of the Ilorin Muslim cemetery led by Dr. Abubakar Aliagan, sought to exhume the body from where he was buried and relocate him to Ilorin cemetery for reburial in accordance with Islamic rites.
