Snippets from the autopsy report on the 25 corpses dumped inside Ezu
River in Amansea, Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State,
indicate that the deceased were extra-judicially murdered.
Vanguard gathered from sources in Lagos last night that the
pathologists, who carried out the autopsy, discovered some bullet
wounds, bruises and other signs that the suspects did not die of natural
causes.
The sources said although the results of the autopsy were scanty, it
would be correct to assume that those whose corpses were thrown into the
river had been in detention or custody.
Anambra State Commissioner for Health, Dr Lawrence Ikeakor, had said
that government made “startling discoveries” from the corpses of three
of the victims, whose bodies were initially exhumed, prompting it to
order further investigations on the remaining bodies.
Tongues were wagging last night that some of those killed were
suspected kidnap or armed robbery suspects in the custody of security
agencies in the state.
