[SHOCKING PHOTOS] Pupils Find Freshly Dug Grave In Classroom In Edo

There was pandemonium at Iguodala Primary
School, in Uhunduhun community of Oredo local
government area of Edo State, on Monday,
following the discovery of what looked like a
grave inside one of the classrooms in the school.
The blood-stained grave allegedly discovered by
one of the teachers and some pupils of the school
shortly after the morning assembly, caused great
stir and anxiety.
The pupils were said to have drawn the attention
of the acting Head Mistress, Mrs. Georginia
Ilongwo to the grave. She subsequently ordered
the evacuation of the pupils from the affected
classroom, and thereafter alerted officers from
the Esigie Police Division.
She described the discovery as shocking, adding
that, many parents had prevented their children
and ward from going to school on Tuesday due to
the fear of contracting infection.
“When I visited the scene, all the teachers were
raising alarm and neighbours were trooping into
the school compound. We called the attention of
inspectors from the ministry, NUT chairman, PTA
Chairman and the Odionwere of the community
who told us to call the police.
“When the policemen came they said that they
would assess the scene today (Tuesday). We were
all surprised because since I started teaching
here, I have not experienced such thing,” Mrs.
Ilongwo said.
When journalists visited the school, a pair of
shorts and a t-shirt were seen on the floor of the
classroom.
Policemen from the Esigie Police Division were
also at the scene, some of whom were said to
have kept watch from Monday night until an
evacuation was carried out by some cemetery
staff from local government council at about
11:40 am on Tuesday.
The cemetery staff were instructed by health
officials from the council to stop exhumation,
after digging three feet into the ground, saying
that there was no sign that a corpse had been
buried at the site.
