As I speak to you, I am in the process of exhuming their bodies. The police gave me papers to use to collect the bodies. I am in the morgue now, they want N30,000 from me before they release the bodies of my family.
My hope is to take the bodies to the Ganye Local Government Area in Adamawa State and bury them because the cemeteries used by the Arewa community here are full. ” He said.
