Ivorien police arrest 12 for desecrating DJ Arafat’s tomb mondaythoughts
Ivorien police have detained 12 people as part of a probe into the desecration of DJ Arafat’s tomb after fans opened the music star’s coffin to take photos of him hours after his burial, officials said Monday.
The incident took place Saturday following an overnight funeral concert at Abidjan’s main stadium, where tens of thousands paid tribute to the singer who died aged 33 in a motorbike crash last month. Events took a dark turn when fans tried to enter the Williamsville cemetery where the singer’s family had given him a private burial, prompting clashes with police.
Several people made it past security, forced open the fresh grave and coffin, and took photos and videos that they shared on social media.
