Mixed reactions and backlashes from
the social media have continued to trail the story of a dead body hijacked at a
cemetery by enraged mortuary attendants. The funeral, which took place on
February 11 2017, in Ghana was going well until the two enraged mortuary
attendants with Tema General Hospital stormed the Tema Community 9 Cemetery and
seized the dead body over a GH¢40 (R112) unpaid debt.
In the public view of
mourners, the mortuary attendants got to where the body was being interred,
seized the coffin, opened it, picked out the dressed corpse and headed back to
the mortuary with it.
Family members of the deceased were
chilled to the marrow as they watched and could not do anything to stop the
enraged attendants. A local media outlet reported that the family of the
deceased took the body to the cemetery without clearing their debt at the
morgue. Some sources revealed that the dead body was carried off while the
mortuary attendants were attending to other families who came to take their
loved ones.
However, the internment commenced
shortly after some friends and elderly men intervened. All around the world, so
many bizarre and sacrilegious things happen during funerals – so many of them
often make people cringe. Recently, the social media has been abuzz with lots
of criticism and backlashes after a story on how a Ugandan woman shoved down a
whopping $5,700 into her dead husband’s coffin went viral.
