Headless bodies found under bridge in Calabar

There was tension at the Five Miles area in the outskirts of Calabar, Cross River State, on Tuesday as an unspecified number of headless bodies were found in a valley by the double carriageway under construction.

The bodies, which were first discovered by farmers in the morning, generated a large crowd at the scene.

It was reported that the dead bodies, which consist of both men and women, were dumped along the bridge under construction by the governor of the state, Ben Ayade.

However, some eyewitness said there were 15 bodies while others said there were up to nine bodies.

An eyewitness identified as Alex, who is a taxi driver and was at the scene, said, “Some persons may have brought these corpses in a vehicle and dumped them here last night.”

Another eyewitness, Nsikak Etim, said, “I couldn’t count the number of bodies dumped there because of the difficult terrain.”

It was also gathered that the location of where the bodies were discovered is not far from the police and security agents’ checkpoints on the Calabar-Odukpani highway.

Meanwhile, the corpses were said to have been evacuated later in the day under the supervision of policemen.
