“The family had hired an ambulance with which it was conveying the remains of the woman home for burial," the witness said."On the way, this group of armed men, decked in flowing white robe but armed with AK-47 riffles, waylaid the ambulance, took the casket hostage, demanding N1,000,000 from the bereaved’s family for its release. They ordered the ambulance driver to 'vanish with his vehicle, and the man gladly fled the scene.
The witness said the bandits pulled the corpse from the ambulance and fled with it inside the bush while the driver of the ambulance was asked to go. The witness said when the son of the deceased got to the scene of the incident and demanded the release of his mother's corpse, the armed men responded by shooting. They then dragged his lifeless body into the bush; it took the intervention of someone from the community before the corpse was released to the church.
