Three Mortuary Attendants Escape Lynching Over Dead Man’s Missing Testicle In Abia
On Monday, March 31, in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, three mortuary attendants narrowly escaped lynching by irate youths.
The unrest was sparked by allegations from a family retrieving their deceased son’s body; upon inspection, they claimed that one of the corpse’s testicles was missing.
Following the request, the corpse, which was already dressed inside the coffin, was undressed, and the testicle was found missing. The situation allegedly angered youths of the surrounding communities who had accompanied the family to the mortuary.
Eyewitnesses say the attendants attempted to flee the scene but were apprehended by the irate youths.
We don’t know that this mortuary is involved in such evil business; people have been suspecting him. It is an abomination in Igbo land to sever the body part of a dead person. Now, we have seen what he has done and why his business is flourishing. He was operating his mortuary business in that abandoned filling station. He and his attendants will answer for their crimes.
The state police command is yet to comment on this development.
