There was a mild drama at a burial event after it was alleged that a carved wooden image was buried instead of a man’s corpse in Nnewi area of Anambra state
The deceased identified as late Mr. Sunday Nwosu of Otolo Nnewi, was the eldest brother of Mr Ikechukwu Nwosu a.k.a Ikechukwunyelu of Obiuno Otolo Nnewi, in Nnewi North local government area of Anambra State.
According to reports, late Mr Sunday Nwosu died almost 3 years ago (on the 10th of January 2016). All this while, his younger brother claims and has been telling the family his brother’s corpse is in the mortuary. And he doesn’t have money yet to bury him.
But on Friday, being the 23rd of November 2018, Mr Ikechuchkwu Nwosu invited few friends to a funeral service without the approval of his kinsmen. He brought back the supposed corpse of his brother Mr. Sunday and instructed it shouldn’t be opened.
But unfortunately for him, his younger sister came without notice and forcefully opened the casket. And behold it was not her eldest brother’s corpse that was in the casket but a carved wood supposed to be that of their late brother.
Amidst her cries and lamentations there, no action was taken. And Mr Ikechukwu still went ahead to bury the carved image.
Now, the villagers want Mr Ikechukwu Nwosu to be arrested and asked where the corpse of his brother is.
