Nigeria has been keeping tabs on the aftermath of the barbaric
act and has spoken to a family member of Elkannah Tekena who
explained how still shocked and horrified the entire family is.
The
family member for has asked us not to reveal her identity, revealed
that Elkannah was buried two days ago after extensive stitches to his
burnt and severely battered body.
“Yes,
he’s been buried.” The family member confirmed, “We
recovered his body and we stitched it the best we could… It’s
shocking the amount of brutality he and those boys endured. His body
was beaten beyond repair, but yes, we’ve buried him.”
When
asked about details of the burial, the source within the family
continued, “We’re from Kalio Ama in Okirika Local Government
Area, and in our custom, if you have endured the brutality, injuries
and violence Elkannah endured, your body cannot be buried in town. So
our 19-yr old boy was taken across and deep into the forest to be
buried.”
The
family source earlier stated that the family was still in shock and
profound bewilderment after Elkannah and the three other boys were
beaten to death and burnt by indigenes of Aluu community.
