Three corpses exhumed from building foundation in Enugu

Three decomposing corpses and a human skull have been exhumed from a building in the Ugwuaji area of Enugu. The corpses were exhumed from the building, which is under construction, late on Monday evening by some youths, based on a directive by police operatives.

The discovery of the corpses has left residents of Enugu in fear, and it is unclear who the building belongs to.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that the structure is a church building. However, there are conflicting reports that the building belongs to a businessman.

It was gathered that the corpses were buried in the foundation of the building, and covered with concrete and blocks. The corpses were said to have been exhumed after one of the workers on the site, who allegedly had knowledge of the interment of the dead bodies in the foundation, notified men of the Enugu State Police Command.

A police source, who did not wish to be named, told newsmen that the alleged worker, who blew the whistle about the development, disclosed that the bodies were buried at the foundation before concrete and blocks were laid.
