It was a horrible sight at a tunnel at Upper Iweka area of Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra state, as more than 20 corpses and carcasses suspected to have been murdered by ritualists and armed robbers were recovered by a government task force.
Saturday Sun gathered that a joint team of soldiers and members of Anambra State task force on crime prevention had stormed a concrete tunnel located at the foot of an MTN mast, within the popular Upper Iweka axis, where they discovered the corpses.
Also found inside the tunnel, it was gathered, were human parts, arms and ammunition, gallons of raw acid (both empty and filled up ones), food items and mattresses believed to be owned by a gang of criminals operating within the Upper Iweka axis and terrorising travelers who arrived Onitsha late or too early.
Among the bodies found, was a decomposing one, suspected to be a corps member, who adorned his uniform. Another corps was in military uniform. Chairman of the Anambra State Task Force, Mr. Onuoha, confirmed the incident and described it as unfortunate. He called on security agencies to brace up the challenges of ensuring security.
As at the time of filing this report yesterday, more corpses were being removed from the tunnel, as members of the task force combed the surrounding bush.
I dont get it? When does serving one's country become a death sentence??????
