Nigerian pastor on the run after dead body is found buried in church
A Nigerian cleric wanted by Cameroonian authorities is reportedly on the run after investigators discovered a mummified body buried beneath a concrete slab at a property linked to his church in Yaoundé.
Nigerian pastor Kedi Samuel Kenechukwu, also known as Ekedi Samuel, is currently on the run in Cameroon after a mummified body was discovered buried beneath a concrete slab at a property linked to his church in Yaoundé. The discovery was made on September 19 during an investigation involving Kenechukwu, who has been operating in Cameroon since 2018.
The body, found in a white-and-gold coffin, appeared to be that of a woman dressed in a traditional blue outfit with gold embroidery, suggesting it had been deliberately preserved. The investigation began after vandalism by residents exposed part of the property, prompting authorities to examine the area more closely. Cameroonian authorities are awaiting authorization to conduct further searches, as concerns remain that additional remains could be found.
Kenechukwu is wanted by Cameroonian authorities for alleged crimes including human trafficking, kidnapping, and unlawful arrest.
