There was drama at the Tema Community 9 Cemetery on Saturday February 11, 2016 when a popular mortuary man with the Tema General Hospital stormed the burial ground to seize a dead body over an amount of GH¢40 balance relations were supposed to pay him for services he rendered.
According to some eyewitnesses, the incensed mortuary man in the company of a colleague, while the body was being interred, seized the coffin, open it, picked out the dressed corpse and started heading back to the mortuary.
His reason was that the family of the deceased failed to pay for the full amount and while he was busily preparing other bodies for burial, they sneaked the corpse and headed straight to the cemetery to bury and proceed to perform the funeral.
Fearing he could not retrieve his balance if that was allowed to go on according to a local journalist he did the unthinkable.
His conduct shocked mourners who had gathered at the graveside to pay their last respect to the deceased.

Once the dead body has entered the Cemetery He has no right to go for the dead body.It is true the family is owing but the dead body does not belong to him. He should have reported the case to the police. HE MUST BE HEAVILY FINED AND JAILED. @KK You don't understand financial difficulties when such a situation happens. If people were allowed to put the law into their own hands and act like this Mortuary man, the country will be in confusion.I am urging GHANA POLICE SERVICE TO FIND THIS MORTUARY MAN. Just ask him if he has not owe a debt before? If yes, i think some slaps will do for the start of the game.
Only 40ghc p3 u seized d corpse... Oh Ghana Asem b3ba dabi
Honestly the family should pay him simple and short!!!!..... You guys are talking anyhow,do you think is easy job? How much they spent buying the coffin ? Also the drinks alcohol,foods,now of this days they celebrate funeral like party ....no one should blame this man because none of you will do this kind of job!!!!
.... this should be investigated. these mortuary men huge illegal fees outside the official ones that you pay and collect a receipt for. But why. His bosses at Tema general hospital should call him to order.
let stop the hypocrisy if the family had paid him he will not have been there in the first place. he need his money and he thought that was the only way he could take it. the family paid him before he released the body. let all stick to what we agree on we should not think we are smart. the family trip to be smart but the guy out smart them even though his actions were too harsh
THIS IS INHUMAN,UNGHANAIAN AND DENT ON THE IMAGE OF TEMA GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND THE MANAGEMENT OF HOSPITAL SHOULD BE APT AND TAKE A DECISION. THIS MORTUARY-MAN OR MEN SHOULD BE DEALT WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROFEESION. BECAUSE OF GH40.00 WHAT A WICKEDNESS. BY NOW I'M SURE HE HAS REGRETED HIS ACTION NOTWITHSTANDING HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED VERY WELL
