In Umabor community, Enugu State, villagers recovered the decomposing corpse of Israel Ugwuanyi, who died in Lagos, after gunmen abducted the body along with family members and the driver during transportation for funeral rites. The incident occurred along 9th Mile Road in Umuoka community, Udi Local Government Area. Despite kidnappers demanding a ransom of N50 million for the corpse and hostages, Ugwuanyi's body was found two days later in a nearby forest. Troops discovered the body and attempted to deposit it at a police station, but were refused. Eventually, the family decided to bury Ugwuanyi immediately due to decomposition. The whereabouts of the other kidnapped individuals remain unknown as the family struggles to raise the demanded ransom.
