Dead bodies in Edo state


By Akinola Ajibade


It was a gory picture to look at yesterday, as 10 unidentified corpses were put beside the road in  Ibillo Community in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State yesterday. Guess who did this? Nobody knows. 

According to residents, some of the bodies were discovered around 7.30 in the morning, by people, who are  heading to farm to work before the rising of the sun. Immediately, they alerted members of the vigilante group who sarched the area, only to recover more bodies, a development, which brought their  numbers to ten. 

A resident in the area, Comrade Victor Arogunyo,who confirmed the incident on phone, said the police  have been contacted, adding that the idea resulted in the evacuation of the corpses  by the people, mostly medical personnel at the  Hospital Ibillo.

He said:”This morning, I got a call that our  farmers discovered some dead bodies by the sides of the road. Expectedly, I rushed to the scene to find out whether it was true or not and thereafter got in touch with the police and eventually we found ten dead bodies. 

“The corpses are fresh as blood was coming out of the mouths of two or three of them. However, there were no signs that they were shot to death.

“Together with the Hospital in Ibillo, the police, the civil defence and hunters removed the dead bodies from the bushes and deposited them at the General Hospital in Ibillo. The incident happened between Lampese and Ibillo on the Lagos – Abuja Expressway”

Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the incident but said an official statement would be released.

He added:“I just spoke with the DPO, Ibillo Division and he is going to send us a detailed information and the police will react officially but he said they were ten male bodies, no female that were found.”
