The Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, has promised a huge sum of N5million to anyone with information on the dead bodies found in Ezu River, Amansea, Akwa North Local Government area of the state.
On Saturday January 19th, around 40 decomposed bodies were seen floating in Ezu River - at the boundary between Enugu and Anambra States. The people of the community were horrified by the sight.
The corpses whose identities were unknown, were suspected to have been dumped in the river Friday night by unknown persons.
Speaking to newsmen, Obi, who cut short his official trip abroad to pay a visit to the river said: "the corpses obviously floated from elsewhere into Anambra state. “The fact that River Ezu flows into Anambra State from another state shows that these corpses obviously floated from elsewhere into our state. As you can see, the bodies are already decomposing and this shows that this incident happened some time ago. But I do not care where the corpses floated from; I am worried that this type of scenario could be witnessed in our country in this age and time. This is a most barbaric and unacceptable development. It cannot happen in any decent society.”
He explained that the N5 million would go to anyone who provided necessary information which would help to unravel the circumstances surrounding the strange incident.
