A yet-to-be-identified man has died while attempting to exhume a corpse at a cemetery in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.



The deceased who was said to have been removing corpses’ skulls were 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 a grave and steal corpse’s skull, and we have tried to prevent that by hiring vigilante to secure the mortuary, we haven’t seen such misery before, this is the first that was caught on the act. And we have reported it to the police”.

Residents of the area said the man died in a pool of his blood, with several of them believing that he must have been struck dead by a ghost.

They added that the body was whisked away by police with some instruments found with him, such as a cutlass, 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 killed the man, adding that the corpse has been deposited in a mortuary in Abeokuta.

He was found dead in a pool of his own blood?


Haaaa...the ghost must have used a sophisticated weapon

The hunter became the hunted

them said fly that refuses to leave the corps, follow the corp to the grave.

Skull mining got mining by messing with the wrong dead person .

It is pretty easy to get away with murder in this shit hole. Imagine these ignorant lot believing a ghost murdered a man and left him in a pool of his blood, the killer must be having a good laugh.
No forensic investigation from the police, I doubt even an autopsy.
You can even kill someone and they will blame herdsmen aka bandits.

When the dead is still living. What is dead may never die.
