A
man has made a really shocking discovery in Cross River State which has
surprised many people after he shared the story on social media.
A man's decomposing body has been found inside a drainage along
Marian Boulevard, after the Jonathan Goodluck Bypass, Calabar, the Cross
River State capital.
The story was shared on Facebook by one Orok Duke.
According to him, he made the grisly discovery on Saturday, December 17th and that the weather has mummified the corpse.
Below is what published on Facebook:
"THERE WAS A CORPSE ON THE HIGHWAY
"On 17/12/2016, I discovered a decomposing body inside the
public drainage along Marian Boulevard, after the Jonathan Goodluck
Bypass, Calabar. The location is (after the overhead bridge) the point
by the stream, where the Police has a permanent checkpoint.
"The weather had mummified the body and the greenery had also
assisted odoriferously. So, the eight Policemen carried on, totally
oblivious of a victim of murder, eternally entombed in the gutter
nearby.
"I called their attention to the corpse and also put a call
across to Mr JoeMary Ekeng Ita of CUDA. He initially expressed mixed
feelings about the removal of the body and the fact that he did not have
a functional vehicle and being a weekend, he was cash-trapped and
unable to hire a vehicle for the assignment. He suggested that I should
call the Commissioner for Environment, but his phone was unavailable.
"The Policemen and I remained there, while I made alternative
plans to remove the body. But to our pleasant surprise, a gentleman
called John,who is the head of the Health Unit of CUDA, came over to
meet us and examine the situation - obviously on the directive of
JoeMary.
"John and JoeMary, took over our sentry duties, earlier that we
had expected. As I departed from Ikot Effanga, my conviction that there
were still dedicated public officials abound - was further
consolidated.
"My heart goes out to the dead man: he may have been a father,
uncle, brother, guardian or nephew to some people, somewhere when he was
alive. How he died may never be known and his killers may never be
found. His hopes and dreams, will never be realised. But, he craves for
and deserves a dignified repose, methinks. The gutter,definitely, could
not have been the final resting place that our society would in or
humanity accept or wish for him.
"To the likes of JoeMary and John (of CUDA) and the rest of us
who still believe that the system can be tweaked to be better - more
grease and Godspeed. Patience and perseverance are what I wish for us.
Selah.
