A man in his thirties was found dead on Sunday, at a grave site, while attempting to rob a corpse in Jigawa State. Reports say the man was trying to unearth the corpse in an effort to steal some valuables buried with it. The corpse had been buried earlier on Sunday morning. Unluckily for the man, while attempting to carry out the robbery, the earth he was standing on collapsed, trapping half of the man’s body inside the ground. He was said to have died on the spot.
Sympathisers confirmed that he sustained injuries to his head. They reckon it could have been that he hit his head on an object in the grave. Reports say that by the time help arrived, he was already dead. On the contrary, onlookers said it appeared that he had struggled to free himself from the grave site, but could not.
One of the sympathisers said, “An alarm was raised when we heard loud shouts from the graveyard. When we got to the scene we saw his legs flying in the air with his head inside the grave.”
