Nigerian cleric flees after body found buried in Cameroon church

A Nigerian cleric accused of human trafficking and other crimes has fled to Cameroon after officials discovered a mummified body buried within his property. The body, found by special police in Yaoundé on September 19, was described as being in a state of preservation and dressed in traditional attire. Kedi Samuel Kenechukwu, the founder of the Mercy of God Ministry, is currently wanted by authorities over multiple allegations.

The discovery of the body came after vandalism at the site prompted investigators to uncover an underground chamber. Security officers are awaiting authorization to search the area further for additional remains. This incident follows other searches of properties linked to Kenechukwu, including one on September 9 where five vehicles and other possessions were discovered. The identity of the deceased and the cause of death remain unknown as the investigation continues.
