Residents of Amansea in Awka, Anambra State woke up yesterday morning
Saturday January 19th to a horrifying sight; 40 dead bodies floating in a
River in their community. People from the community and some
neighbouring ones besieged the Ezu river yesterday to catch a glimpse of
the dead bodies. The river is at the boundary between Enugu and Anambra
states and the dead bodies were found at the old Enugu-Onitsha road
axis of the river.
The corpses whose identities were unknown, were suspected to have been dumped in the river Friday night by unknown persons.

The traditional ruler of Amansea said the community had never witnessed
such a gory sight before, while the Commissioner of Police in the state
said the dead bodies remained a mystery as there had been no communal
clash in Enugu or Anambra where many people were killed. He said
investigations are ongoing...
The State Governor Peter Obi has cut short his trip abroad and is expected back today.
