A Nigerian religious leader named Kedi Samuel Kenechukwu, also called Ekedi Samuel, has disappeared after police in Cameroon found a d£ad body buried under concrete at a building connected to his church.
Kenechukwu is wanted by Cameroonian authorities for human tr@fficking, unlawful arrest and kidn@pping.
Police found the mummified body on September 19th at about 9am at a property in Nkoabang, Yaoundé.
The officers were investigating Kenechukwu's activities when they made the discovery.
A mummified body means the body had been preserved for a long time and was in a preserved state.
The body was found buried about 1.5 metres below a concrete slab.
It was placed inside a white and gold coffin.
The body appeared to be a woman dressed in traditional blue clothing with gold embroidery.
The coffin lid was broken.
The discovery was made after people damaged parts of the church property, which led investigators to find the hidden underground area where the body was buried.
Police are still waiting for permission to do more searches at the site to look for other possible remains.
Nobody knows who the woman was or how she d!ed.
This discovery happened about 10 days after police had searched the same property on September 9th.
During that earlier search, they found five vehicles, hundreds of kilograms of food, working freezers and about 30 rooms.
They also found a deep pit about two metres deep, but they did not know what it was used for.
On September 6th, police had searched another property connected to Kenechukwu's church called Mercy of God Ministry in another part of Yaoundé.
They found 20 people in a basement 10 women, eight men and two children aged six and seven years old.
Police in Cameroon are looking for Kenechukwu everywhere.
They have told border police to watch for him and they have asked Interpol, which is the international police organization, to help find him.
The investigation is still ongoing.
