The police in Ebonyi State have evacuated the corpses of a man and his son at Ebebe Junction area of Abakaliki metropolis.

The state police spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, said that the evacuation was carried out on Friday.

Mr Ukandu, however, said that the command had yet to get the full details of what led to the death of Light Nwodor, and his son, Miracle.

He said, “When I was called by an individual about the incident, I quickly called the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the area. They swung into action and the dead bodies have been evacuated. The police have launched an investigation into the matter. The command will definitely inform the general public on completion of investigation. Right now, nobody knows what caused their deaths.’’

Mr Ukandu also said he had not been briefed by the DPO on any arrest made.

There were claims that the victims died following consumption of food prepared by an unknown female said to be on the run.
