Cameroon Horror: Nigerian Pastor Flees As Mummified Body Is Found Under Church Property

Cameroon Horror: Nigerian Pastor Flees As Mummified Body Is Found Under Church Property

 

Police uncover coffin buried 1.5 metres underground as investigation into Nigerian pastor’s properties deepens

 

A Nigerian cleric has reportedly gone into hiding in Cameroon after security operatives uncovered a mummified body buried beneath a concrete slab at a property linked to his church in Yaoundé.

 

The shocking discovery has plunged Mercy of God Ministry, founded by Nigerian-born cleric Kedi Samuel Kenechukwu, also known as Ekedi Samuel, into the centre of a widening investigation by Cameroonian authorities.

 

The latest discovery was reportedly made on September 19, 2026, at a property in Nkoabang, Yaoundé, during an investigation into activities allegedly linked to the cleric.

 

According to reports from Cameroon, police discovered a white-and-gold coffin buried about 1.5 metres underground beneath a concrete slab.

 

Inside the coffin was what investigators described as a mummified human body.

 

The remains were reportedly dressed in traditional blue clothing decorated with gold embroidery and appeared to be those of a woman.

 

But authorities have not yet publicly established the identity of the deceased, when she died or how she came to be buried beneath the property.

 

The discovery has therefore raised a string of unanswered questions as investigators intensify their probe.

 

Secret burial uncovered

 

The discovery reportedly followed an examination of the property after part of the structure was damaged, exposing an underground section.

 

Police subsequently conducted a search and allegedly found the coffin concealed beneath the concrete.

 

Investigators are expected to carry out further forensic examinations to establish the identity of the remains and determine the circumstances surrounding the death.

 

Authorities have also reportedly sought permission to conduct additional searches of the premises amid concerns that further evidence could be hidden within the property.

 

The latest discovery comes barely days after investigators reportedly made another disturbing finding at a different property linked to the ministry.

 

On September 6, security operatives reportedly raided a property in the Ngousso area of Yaoundé, where they allegedly found 20 people inside a basement.

 

The group reportedly comprised 10 women, eight men and two children, aged six and seven.

 

The discovery triggered further investigations into the activities taking place at properties allegedly associated with the ministry.

 

30 rooms, underground pit discovered

 

The investigation subsequently moved to the Nkoabang property.

 

According to reports, investigators found about 30 rooms, five vehicles, several hundred kilogrammes of food and functioning freezers on the premises.

 

An underground pit measuring approximately two metres deep was also reportedly discovered.

 

The purpose of the pit has not been established publicly.

 

The discovery of the mummified remains has now added another disturbing dimension to the investigation.

 

Cameroonian authorities are reportedly examining whether there is any connection between the body and the other findings made during their operations.

 

However, there is currently no established evidence publicly showing that the cleric caused the death of the person whose remains were discovered.

 

Cleric reportedly disappears

 

Kenechukwu, who has reportedly been operating in Cameroon since 2018, is said to have disappeared as authorities intensified their investigation.

 

Cameroonian security agencies are reportedly searching for him and have taken steps to alert relevant authorities as efforts to locate him continue.

 

The cleric is reportedly being sought over allegations arising from the broader investigation, including claims concerning human trafficking, unlawful detention and kidnapping.

 

The allegations have not been proven in court.

 

Authorities are expected to question Kenechukwu over the discoveries and establish his relationship with the properties and the people found there.

 

Investigation deepens

 

The case has generated considerable concern in Cameroon because of the nature of the discoveries reportedly made at properties associated with the ministry.

 

The finding of 20 people in a basement, the existence of numerous rooms and an underground pit, and the subsequent discovery of a coffin containing mummified remains have all intensified scrutiny of the ministry’s activities.

 

Investigators are expected to focus on establishing whether the different discoveries are connected or merely occurred at properties belonging to the same religious organisation.

 

Forensic experts will also be expected to determine the identity of the deceased, establish the cause and approximate time of death, and examine the circumstances surrounding the burial.

 

Until those investigations are completed, several critical questions remain unanswered.

 

Who was the deceased?

 

How did she die?

 

Why was her body placed inside a coffin and buried beneath a concrete slab?

 

Who buried the remains there, and when?

 

And perhaps most importantly, what connection, if any, does the discovery have with the activities under investigation at the church properties?

 

For now, those questions remain with Cameroonian investigators as the search for the Nigerian cleric reportedly continues.

 

The case is expected to generate further developments as security agencies conduct additional searches and forensic examinations.
