Police search for missing corpse in Ogun
The Ogun police command has arrested four persons suspected to be involved in the mysterious disappearance of a corpse at a morgue. The arrested are working with the Sacred Heart hospital mortuary, in Abeokuta.
The children of the deceased raised an alarm after realising that their father, Joel Omiran’s corpse, was missing.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, the command’s public relations officer, said that investigation had commenced.
He said, “Yes, we are aware that the body of an 86-year-old man, Joel Omiran, was missing in the Sacred Heart Hospital Mortuary, Abeokuta.
“We have commenced an investigation. The State CID, Eleweran, has taken over the case.
Four suspects have been held: two mortuary attendants, one auditor and a plumber.
“The police held the plumber because we heard that a few days to the incident, he helped the attendants to break the door to the mortuary when the keys to the doors were misplaced. We made the arrest on Thursday.”
