Residents of Amansea in Awka, Anambra State woke up yesterday morning
Saturday January 19th to a horrifying sight; 40 dead bodies floating in a
River in their community. People from the community and some
neighbouring ones besieged the Ezu river yesterday to catch a glimpse of
the dead bodies. The river is at the boundary between Enugu and Anambra
states and the dead bodies were found at the old Enugu-Onitsha road
axis of the river.
The corpses whose identities were unknown, were suspected to have been dumped in the river Friday night by unknown persons.
The traditional ruler of Amansea said the community had never
witnessed such a gory sight before, while the Commissioner of Police in
the state said the dead bodies remained a mystery as there had been no
communal clash in Enugu or Anambra where many people were killed. He
said investigations are ongoing...
Meanwhile the governor of the state, Peter Obi, has cut short his
working trip abroad to return to the state to enable him visit the
scene.
