Armed Men Invade mortuary in Enugu, cart away corpse

The corpse of Chief Theodore Ezeobi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who died about four months ago, was yester­day morning stolen from the mortuary of Mother of Christ Specialist Hos­pital in Enugu.
Before the sudden disap­pearance of the corpse, the family of the deceased had been having a running battle over his burial that pitted the first son, Theodore (Jnr), against his mother and other siblings.

A burial announcement, which was published in the newspapers, fixing the burial for July 31, was quickly dis­owned by another advertorial signed by daughter to the de­ceased, Chinelo Ezeobi, who advised well-wishers and the public to disregard the publi­cation as the correct informa­tion for the burial would be made public at the right time
