The deceased husband and other family members who rushed out to pick the corpse from a man suspected to have Mrs Buhari's Corpse as a mistakenly exchange, got confused as the proposed corpse had been buried.

According to the suspected man with the swapped corpse, “my wife had been buried and I cannot exhume her body unless there's pictorial evidence.

But, It was reported that the spokesperson for the morgue, identified simply as Olumide, allegedly said the corpse had been found and the family was going for the burial around 7pm as there was undue miss up.

“There was just a mix up, which has been sorted out. I am with the family, we are on our way to bury the corpse.” he said.
