He embalmed his mother's body in his wardrobe for Ten years

 A Guru Maharaji devotee and a retired school principal, Dr. Chimezie Osigwe, has been acquitted by the court after giving  chilling reasons for keeping his mother's remains in his wardrobe for Ten years. Dr. Chimezie Osigwe was arrested last year, the court however acquitted him on the basis that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was responsible for the death of the victim. He was initially arraigned for killing his mother, and that there is no enough evidence to prosecute him.
He explained that he kept his mother's body as an evidence in a suit he filed against Chevron Oil Company that he accused of causing the death of his mother. He said that the exploration activities of the Oil company in his community caused the death of his mother and he intend to pursue the case till the court rules in his family's favour.

In his words, His words: “My mother woke up around 1am that fateful day to ease herself but the wall of the toilet which has been damaged collapsed and fell on her and I heard her shout and rushed down to her room with my two sisters, She died before the day finally broke. I then reported the case to the police and an autopsy was carried out and I took the embalmed body and preserved it in my wardrobe as I intended to sue the oil company for causing the death of my mother.

“My siblings both those in the Diaspora and at home, were aware of my plan and they gave their support that the body be kept as an evidence for the case.”
