Port Harcourt - Gun-wielding men have exhumed the remains of former executive chairman of the Asari-Toru local government area of Rivers State in Nigeria, Odiari Princewill, who died of the coronavirus recently, according to a Nigerian news report.
Citing eyewitnesses, the publication reported that the gunmen stormed the Port Harcourt cemetery, fired random shots in the air, went to where the late chairman was buried, and dug up the coffin. It was understood that they had subsequently escaped with the coffin through the Bille waterside jetty in Port Harcourt, the newspaper reported.
“But this one is different. They just came and went straight to the burial ground and started digging out the sand. They were like 10 of them. They said they want to give the chairman a proper burial in his hometown,” the witness was quoted as having said.
