Exhuming corpse to make money is increasingly becoming a
trade in Ogun State and other parts of the country.
However, the Police had insisted that the illicit trade
won’t subsist with the arrest of one Olorunwa Jimoh who is currently cooling
his feet in police net for the same offence. Jimoh confessed that
his business
albeit illegitimate is to search for graveyards from which he exhumes corpses
in Ago-Iwoye.
It was gathered that one Otunba Adekoya, aresident of
Adekoya Street in the town, caught him in the act in his neighborhood, after
which he raised alarm, leading to his arrest and detention at the Ago-Iwoye
Divisional Police Headquarters.
The unusual confidence which Jimoh exudedin the presence of
policemen painted a picture of an unrepentant man. He even justified his act as
a means to survive what he called the hard time.
“What everybody is looking for is what to doto eat. This is
my own means of making money to feed myself. Abore is the one who buys any part
I take to him,” he said defiantly.
The Police have since commenced a search for Abore who is
said to have fled Ago-Iwoye soon after the news of Jimoh’s arrest broke.
The Police, however, have decided to keep asealed lips on
the update regarding the search. “We cannot tell you how far we have gone so
that it won’t affect our job. But I can assure you that he would be fished out
to confirm or deny the allegation,” Muyiwa Adejobi, Ogun State PPRO said.
