THE Abia State Command of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC,
Wednesday, arrested two men with the corpse of a two-
year-old girl.
The suspects were apprehended when they were
trying to bury the corpse in an abandoned pit in
Osisioma, near Aba.
The middle-aged suspects are Jonathan Nwogu from
Mgboko Umuola in Obingwa Local Government Area of
the state and Chibuike Anubuife from Ezeagu Local
Government Area of Enugu State.
They were caught at Enyimba filling station near
Ariaria International, Aba while trying to take the girl’s
corpse in a sack for burial.
Parading the suspects in Umuahia, the state
commandant of the NSCDC, Andy Dateer, said: “It was a
very sad day for the command.”
According to him, his men on a routine patrol caught
two men in possession of a corpse of a girl of about two
years old in a sack. He said his men were attracted to
the scene following a quarrel between them and a man
who would have conveyed them to the scene in his car.
“As people started gathering, the owner of the car
zoomed off and my men arrested the two suspects,” he
said.
Dateer said they will be handed over to the Police for
proper investigation.
“If they had not been saved by his men the public
would have lynched them and the society would not be
able to know the mystery behind their act,” he said.
In an interview, Chibuike Anubuife said he saw the
other man for the first time and he asked him to help
him bury the dead girl.
Anubuife said that he was still discussing the logistics
for the burial of the girl before the men of the NSCDC
arrested them.
In his response, the other suspect, Jonathan Nwogu
said a man approached him to help him bury the girl.
