“The means these criminals devised to gain entrance into the mortuary could not be confirmed as at the time The Genius Media filed this report, also the duration of the corpse stay with them was not ascertained by The Genius Media as the police refused questions from us.”
The Imo State Police Command in Nigeria claims to have arrested two men who stole the corpse of a 90-year-old woman from a mortuary and demanded ransom from the family.
Chukwudi Chukwu and Bethel allegedly picked the body of the old woman from Ikeduru LGA and demanded N5m as the only condition on which they would release the corpse.
As strange as it sounds, The Genius Media can confirm the corpse was deposited at the Jesus Hospital’s Mortuary located at Akabor, Ikeduru immediately after the demise of the 90-year-old grandmother before the unfortunate event happened to here even in her death.
The means these criminals devised to gain entrance into the mortuary could not be confirmed as at the time The Genius Media filed this report, also the duration of the corpse stay with them was not ascertained by The Genius Media as the police refused questions from us.
In a photo circulating online, the two men are seen lying in a car with the corpse in the middle. It appears this is the latest modus operandi criminals are adopting to hold people to ransom and make money off them.
