And what went down at Tema Community 9 Cemetery in Ghana on Saturday February 11, 2016 is

A mortuary attendant in the company of a colleague stormed the cemetery to seize a body over an unpaid balance of about 940 Kshs after the family refused to meet their end of the bargain and pay for the services rendered by the attendant.

The man is said to have stormed into the burial grounds as the body was being put to the ground, where they grabbed the white casket, opened it and put the dead body on their shoulders and proceeded to head back to the mortuary.

According to reports by various Ghanaian websites, the reason whey this man took this very extreme measures was because the family had allegedly snuck out the dead body while he was attending to other dead bodies and rushed to clandestinely lay him to rest him at the burial grounds.

Luckily the situation was saved after the family paid him back the money, stopping the scene that had taken place in the locale in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

The family was able to regain back their dignity and composure and the deceased was finally laid to rest.
