AN unidentified man, in his thirties, was found dead yesterday at a grave site, while apparently attempting to rob a corpse in Kazaure, Jigawa State.
The man was said to be attempting to exhume the corpse, which had been buried earlier on Sunday morning, in an effort to steal some valuables said to have been buried with it.
While making the attempt, the loose earth collapsed, trapping the man as shown in the picture. He died on the spot.
He was found, hours later, dead, but onlookers said it appeared that he had struggled to free himself from the grave site, but could not.
From the injuries sustained on his head, it was apparent that he had hit his head on an object in the grave which, perhaps, made him unable to free himself.
Also, sympathisers said he might have been knocked unconscious, and so could not have been able to shout for help.
Investigations could not, however, ascertain how he was related to the corpse, or how he knew what valuables had been buried with it, as his corpse was yet to be claimed at the time of filing this report.
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you

What can we say in this situation, we never can tell may be he was killed by some people. Since he's dead already and we cant ask him to give us vital information regarding his fate all other things remain assumption. May God help us in this life (Amen).

I DONT THINK THERE'S A NEED OF BRINGING HIM OUT FOR BURIAL COS HE HAS ALREADY BURIED HIMSELF. THE ISSUE OF LOOKING FOR LABOURERS TO DIG HIS GRAVE IS SOLVED ALREADY. IT'S JUST USING MORE SAND TO COVER THE UNCOVERED PART.
I DEPEND SOLELY IN GOD

It is obvious this person has nothing in any angle to say , rather he only came out to expose how barbaric he is . Hi man , please stop fooling yoursalf . because may reading your comment , it simply tell's where you came from and nothing but one of this MYSTERIOUS countries in Afric . You are just hiding your identity not knowing that Nigerians are so smart to pick up where you poor rat came from . Take note , don't ever comment here again when you have nothing to say .
