BUSTED: Awudome cemetery worker caught selling body parts for GHS400
A worker at the Muslim section of the Awudome Cemetary in Accra has been caught selling body parts and items used to bury the dead at the cemetery for just GHS400.
According to a post by a social media user by name Scofield Ali Sabit, a video recording of the incident has been shared on social media. Per the narration of the social media user, the man identified as Haruna was suspected by the ‘King of the Cemetary’, (Sarkin Makabira) to be engaged in illegal activities but because he had no evidence, he kept mute.
He, however, decided to act by making arrangements with someone to call Haruna and ask for some items and a body part. The trap worked as Haruna who is described as very popular with the Muslim community and earns 10 times more than the average Ghanaian worker daily fell for the trap and showed up at the agreed location with the items. He was then arrested.
Also at the same cemetery, another man was seen loitering around and when he was caught and interrogated, they discovered he had a polyethene bag that contained a skull and a red cloth, presumably for rituals.
In a series of posts later, Scofield Ali Sabit responded to allegations made against those who arrested Haruna. Several comments on his previous post insinuate that Haruna was set up to force him out so others could take over, an allegation Mr Sabit said could be through but added that if Haruna was not in the act already, GHS400 would not have been tempting enough for him to commit to it at the first instance even though he sometimes gets more than that amount at one burial.
He then called for investigations into the matter so that those involved in the practice of trading human parts could be rooted out of the cemetery to safeguard the dead bodies.
Read Mr Scofield’s narration below.
Earlier I watched two videos of some illegal activities going on at the Awudome Cemetery in Accra where Muslims are buried.
The first video was the video of a certain Haruna who works at the cemetery and all those who visit the Awudome cemetery know him very well. If you are close to him and you bring your deceased relatives, friends etc he will narrate how some people engage in illegal activities during the night and how they suffer during the day to rectify the problems. The illegal activities include the work of sorcerers (Boka) who use the white cloth used to bury the dead and to some extent the skin itself and also how they bury dirty things in the tomb.
There is another guy who works voluntarily at the cemetery and he was recently installed as the king of the cemetery (Sarkin Makabira) This one is doing a great job because he is a pioneer and champions the cause to keep our cemetery neat and organized. In the video he was heard saying he always suspected the Haruna guy but he wasn’t having any evidence hence he remained silent all these while. So he made an arrangement with a different guy to call and ask for a cloth used to bury the dead and a part of the dead body. The guy called and they agreed on a price and a place to deliver the goods. Haruna didn’t disappoint and he brought the items for the money. Lo and behold Mei Martaba Sarkin Makabira was there and Haruna was busted.
The second video was an elderly man who came to the cemetery in the afternoon while Sarkin Makabira and his team where busy working to make the Cemetery look neat and smart. They suspected his movement and they called to interrogate him. At first he was hesitant in giving out any information but when he realized they were serious he brought everything out. He was holding a polytene which contains a red cloth and a skull.
This is a very disturbing development because only God knows how long the Haruna guy with all the trust and love he receives from the Muslim community was engaged in such activities. He gets 10x more money than the average worker in this country because of the sympathy he gets from Muslims. You will go and bury your loved ones and return home to mourn and these riffraff’s will use the body of your loved ones for their illegal and foolish worldly desires.
Watch the videos in the comment section….
May Allah save both the dead and the living and distance us from bad people…
