Nigerian student shocked to see friend's body in anatomy class

In our series of letters from African writers, Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes about the disturbing reality behind some of the "unclaimed" bodies sent to the country's medical schools.

Mr Egbe sent a message to Divine's family who, it turned out, had been going to different police stations in search of their relative after he and three friends were arrested by security agents on their way back from a night out.Nigerians last year staged massive protests to condemn police brutality More than 90% of the cadavers used in Nigerian medical schools are "criminals killed by shooting", according to 2011 research in the medical journal Clinical Anatomy.

Many of those testifying before the panels have spoken of relatives arrested by security agents and never seen again. This used to leave the mortuary stuck with the maintenance costs of the unclaimed bodies until every few years the government eventually granted permission for mass burials.

Poor guy, how dreadful!

😱

Quite misleading putting this on the Uk news feed, suppose you get the clicks while also pushing the anti police narrative!

Who gives a sh*t.

Suppose these things will happen occasionally.

Nice.

Traumatic

OMG!

Especially as he thought he buried him well.

Crazy to think we share a world with people who commit such atrocities. I really am blessed to live in such a safe country.

Horriffic 😥

Is now this the news to consider.

Can't even imagine.

I'm sorry BBC NEWS, but at which point is this within your objective to keep me informed and updated with current affairs

That must have been dreadful. Poor man.
