Man buries wood in place of his brother’s corpse

Infonet9ja.com gathered that the people of Nnewi in Abnambra State were at the weekend left in shock as one of their sons identified as Ikechukwu Nwosu reportedly buried a carved wood instead of his dead brother’s corpse.

Sources at the community reports that event turned dramatic at the burial ceremony when the bubble busted; that what the casket which was to be lowered into the grave do not contain the body of the said deceased.

Local reports show that the deceased identified as Sunday Nwosu, died on the 10th of January, 2016, and his younger brother, Ikechukwu, had been telling people that Sunday’s corpse was in the mortuary and he didn’t have money to bury him, yet.

But, on Friday, 23rd of November, 2018, Ikechuchkwu invited few friends to a funeral service without the approval of his kinsmen.

He brought a coffin containing the supposed corpse of Sunday and instructed that it shouldn’t be opened.

The sister discovered the piece of wood

However, their younger sister stormed the venue without notifying anyone and forcefully opened the casket. And to the surprise of everyone, only a carved wood was found inside.

It was learnt that despite her cries of the sister, Ikechukwu allegedly, still went ahead to bury the wood.

In an apparent move to get to the root of the allegation by Ikechukwu’s younger sister, it was gathered that some villagers have called on the Igwe of Orizu, Nnewi, and the police to arrest Ikechukwu and make him provide his brother’s corpse.
