Tension erupts inside mortuary after testicle was discovered missing from dead body
On Tuesday, a male deceased person’s testicle was discovered missing, causing panic at a nearby mortuary on the Aba-Ikot Ekpene road in Obingwa LGA, Abia State.
The villagers and the deceased’s family were incensed by the discovery.
When the deceased’s sister asked to see every portion of her brother’s body before it was taken away for burial, the startling discovery was made.
Upon undressing the corpse, which had been stored in the mortuary for over a year, a “thorough inspection” revealed that the testicle was missing, leading to an uproar.
Angry relatives and villagers gathered at the mortuary, demanding answers. Faced with the escalating tension, some of the mortuary attendants attempted to flee, but they were caught and severely beaten by the crowd.
As the situation worsened, more villagers who had entrusted their loved ones to the facility rushed to evacuate the bodies and transfer them to other mortuaries. In the midst of the chaos, several properties at the mortuary were destroyed by the furious youths.
In the aftermath of the incident, many villagers expressed their distrust of the mortuary, stating that they would personally inspect the bodies of their deceased relatives at other facilities before allowing them to be taken home for burial.
