Residents of Ugwuaji in Enugu State have been thrown into shock and trepidation following the discovery, Monday evening of shocking images of dead bodies used to lay the foundations of a new church building along the Enugu Port-Harcourt Express Road.
It was however gathered that construction of the building whose owner could not be immediately ascertained, commenced recently and was at the foundation level before the gory discovery Monday.
A source hinted that curious villagers raised the alarm, which prompted security agencies to invade the location.
Villagers are pointing accusing fingers on the owners of the building, new church located close to the scene.
Unconfirmed sources said one of the workers at the site, who heard about the burial of the deceased inside the foundation before it was concretized, alerted security operatives about the evil act.
Policemen were said to have after receiving the tip-off mobilized some labourers who dug the foundation open and discovered the corpses.
The discovery attracted several passersby and motorists plying the road to the scene.
One of those who were at the scene described the act as “wicked and the most inhuman action I have seen in my entire life.”
“I was traveling when I saw the crowd there and had to stop. This is wickedness of the highest order. Accusing fingers are being pointed at a particular new church along that road; I don’t know who did this; but I must say that the wicked will never go unpunished.
“People no longer value human lives; for whatever purpose this was done, it is heart breaking”, he lamented.
However, the police is yet to make official statement on the matter.
