The Edo State police command has exhumed the corpse of Mr Omon Iyoha Osobase, a lawyer who was killed by some gang members early in May 2020 following his attempt to settle a quarrel between the said gang members and another party.
The incident took place at a bar in Benin City, the Edo state capital.
Mr Osobase was reportedly beaten to a pulp at the bar and subsequently whisked away in a vehicle.
