Minna – Two hundred out of over five hundred corpses swept away from their graves by floods in a cemetery in Mariga town in Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State have been recovered.

The River Mariga in the town due to heavy downpours overflowed its banks towards the graveyard which led to the washing away of the corpses from their graves.

A resident of the town, Mohammed Aliyu had explained that villagers woke up in the early hours of Wednesday to discover corpses floating on the river.

He stated that the District Head had communicated with the state government and requested immediate action and they responded swiftly.

“The government officials promptly responded and as of this afternoon, about 200 bodies were recovered, they are still struggling to get access to the area,” he added.
