In the wake of the massive shock and responses from all corners of the country,after the barbaric murder of the young men,the families are trying to bury their kids and find some semblance of meaning to the brutal murder of their precious children...
Elkannah was buried two days ago..
Yes, he’s been buried.” A family member confirmed, “We recovered his body and we stitched it the best we could… It’s shocking the amount of brutality he and those boys endured. His body was beaten beyond repair, but yes, we’ve buried him.”
When asked about details of the burial, the source within the family continued, “We’re from Kalio Ama in Okirika Local Government Area, and in our custom, if you have endured the brutality, injuries and violence Elkannah endured, your body cannot be buried in town. So our 19-yr old boy was taken across and deep into the forest to be buried.”....Is this practice still on in 2012?this custom is new to me...wouldnt it have been good to give him a decent Christian burial.I stand to be corrected but i thought the custom of burying a young single person who died violently is a thing of the past..What a sad sad loss.....
days ago after extensive stitches to his burnt and severely battered body.
