According to a report by PUNCH Metro, the residents of Idi-Arere community in Ibadan, Oyo State, were in shock on Saturday when they discovered the corpse of a resident, Alhaji Kolawole Waheed, with vital organs of his body missing.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Waheed died last Thursday and was buried on Friday according to Islamic rites.

The deceased’s brother, Taofeek Adebayo, said the 68-year-old was hit by a car while inside a tricycle, adding that he was later taken to a hospital where he died three days after.

“On Saturday morning, an older brother called my wife’s phone. He told me some people had removed Waheed’s head. I rushed down there and discovered that they also removed his hand and intestines.

“Three houses surround the grave and everyone said they didn’t know anything about it,” he added.

A resident, Seun Aribikola, told our correspondent that the grave was between two buildings with an old grave beside it.

He said the incident was later reported to the police.

“When the police got there, they noticed that his head, right hand wrist, and intestines had been taken away,” he added.

PUNCH Metro also gathered that there was an uncompleted building beside the grave occupied by one Alfa.
