The incident happened on Friday night with the corpses discovered outside the cemetery in the morning by the residents of the area.

Malam Audullahi Musa, a resident of the area told the NAN on Saturday that the corpses are awaiting reburial at the cemetery.

“At the moment there are 20 corpses awaiting reburial at the cemetery,’’ he said.

Reports say Musa called on people of the area to come out and assist to rebury the corpses, to avoid possible outbreak of diseases.
