THERE was confusion in Owakande 2 in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State following the disappearance of the body of a lawyer, Mr Egbara Owan which was scheduled for interment at the weekend.
The programme for internment of the man had begun with a lying-in-state at the Obubra Magistrate Court on Saturday but family members and sympathisers who gathered there had to disperse when ambulance sent to the local mortuary to take the corpse for the ceremony went back without the corpse.
“Apparently someone had gone to the mortuary to remove the corpse and when the family went there yesterday, Saturday, to remove the body it was nowhere to be found, a source from the area, James Okpa said.
