Viewer's discretion advised: Mystery bodies float on Anambra river

No fewer than 50 unidentified and bloated corpses have been discovered floating on Ezu River in Amansea community, near Awka; a boundary area between Enugu and Anambra states, both in eastern Nigeria.
The corpses were reportedly
found at about 8 a.m. on Saturday, when villagers went to the river to fetch water for their domestic chores.
The people counted up to 50 bodies and alerted their traditional ruler who mobilized his cabinet for an emergency meeting after which the state government and the state police command were contacted.
The stench from the decomposing bodies could be picked from about one kilometer from the river and the development attracted many people to the area.

When reporters arrived the scene, indigenes of the communities bordering the river were seen in groups discussing the development, even as they said that nobody from their various communities was missing. The Amansea River is a tributary of River Niger and derives its source from Agbuogugu community in Enugu and flows through Orji to Amansea.
The river is also a source of drinking water to the people of Amansea and neighbouring communities.
