Mystery surrounds attempted burial of 4 bodies in Kaduna Cemetery

Story by, Jamila Yunusa SULEIMAN.

In a viral video on the Meta app, unidentified men, on Saturday 27-April-2024 in Rigasa, Kaduna State, drove into the cemetery at Layin Bola, Rigasa Kaduna State, attempting to bury 4 lifeless bodies in two graves. It was alleged that the men arrived in an ambulance.

An eyewitness stated, “There are four bodies as you can see, two females and two males. The females have their heads cut off while the genitals are removed from two of the males.”

“All the two women are buried in the same grave, so also the men. As you can see, the graves are shallow. This is tragic and disheartening. We, the people of Rigasa, speak with one voice; we do not agree that these bodies are buried here because we don’t know those who brought them, we don’t know who are the deceased or the cause of death.”

“There is something fishy about the whole burial process because the corpses still have their clothes on, but are shrouded with white pieces of cloth.

“The people of this community are already agitated even though the Divisional Police Officer Rigasa and the head of the community are all here to make sure things are put in place”.

Another eyewitness identified as Bashir Sale, advised that we all obey the instructions of the law for peace, rather than encourage the youths to stone the ambulance.

When police were summoned, the DPO stated that he had spoken with the Commissioner of Police, who gave the instructions that, those who brought the corpse in an ambulance should be accompanied to return the corpse to the hospital they claimed they brought the corpse from.

However, the driver of the ambulance and his accomplices escaped while the people of the community were busy protesting.

The angry protesters made attempts to burn down the ambulance but failed as law enforcement agents halted the attempt, although protesters had already vandalized the vehicle. On the disappearance of the men, the police instructed all dead bodies should be evacuated from the grave.
