Ordeal Of Driver’s Mate Who Collapsed after Fondled Corpse’s Breast

“YOU MAY KISS THE CORPSE, MME”

Chilling experiences of how otherwise NICE SOLDIERS ordered recalcitrant 207 and URVAN tro-tro drivers plying the Madina-Accra, Madina-Circle route to fondle the breasts of dead women at the 37 Military Hospital Mortuary, arrange a huge pile of other corpses as well as kiss cold lifeless lips, have haunted most of them to the point of sickness.

Throughout last week, most owners of the commercial buses whose drivers and mates were hurled from the road to undertake the exercises, never stashed any monies into their bank accounts because, several of their workers were too psychologically traumatized to show up for work.

Seth Kwame Oturah a driver’s mate told THE SUN how he has gone without food until his skeletal frame has been further emaciated and deprived of the very nutrients he badly needs, to keep heart and soul together. Confirmed sources say when he arrived at home at SANTA-MARIA an Accra suburb to narrate the incident he collapsed instantly and had to be rushed to hospital to be resuscitated.

“These days I have lost my appetite for food and water. All I eat are dry pieces of fried yam and chewy stuff, and I am sad that such an experience should befall me in a democratic dispensation such as we have at the moment,” he protested feebly.

Yet another who suffered the same fate also recounted the sordid happening at the morgue, where he was repeatedly ordered to embrace lifeless babies, while he lifted them from one part of the mortuary to another together with the rest of the gang. “It is an experience I will never forget”, he told THE SUN. But prying further into the chilling experiences, THE SUN discovered that much more scary orders were dished out to the drivers and mates, such as slipping their fingers into the womanhood of the female dead aside planting a full kiss on their cold lips.

“At this stage we begged to be excused the two orders, but were only pardoned the kiss and so some of us had to finger the female corpses”, they revealed rather frighteningly but regrettably.

The haunted drivers and mates say ever since then, there has been a lingering after-smell on their minds and in their mouths, which make munching and swallowing some obviously palatable dishes extremely difficult.

The military misadventure had been a form of punishment by the soldiers for hard-hearted and unrepentant tro-tro drivers, who had over the years disregarded true discipline and formed the habit of parking in front of the otherwise busy Military Hospital.

Try as THE SUN did it could not reach the Public Relations Directorate of the Ghana Armed Forces, but it was discovered that the tro-tro drivers were a nuisance, following their resolve to impede in-coming ambulances which carry emergencies to the hospital every now and then.

But in as much as the public has raised so much hell with the mistreatment, several other members of the same public with a different mind-set altogether have applauded the soldiers in the saga, for visiting such a heinous punishment on the poor drivers and mates.

Sarah Torkonoo, 34, a market woman at Makola Market told THE SUN that the soldiers must be commended instead because tro-tro drivers and their mates have a penchant for foolishness.

“If they do not annoy you with over-charging of fares, they give off enough terribly bad smell to make you want to vomit all day. Such a punishment will straighten them up without a doubt, and I can swear none of them will venture to park anywhere near a military facility,” she told THE SUN with lots of sarcastic vibe.

However as we went to press, the director of the Ghana Armed Forces Public Relations directorate Col. Nibo was stating elsewhere on air that an enquiry had been set up to investigate the matter so that, guilty soldiers among the lot will be brought to book.

Meanwhile the mortuary corpse experiences continue to haunt the drivers and mates and it is going to be a long while when affected bus owners, would be brought their daily sales, and large morsels of fufu swallowed appetizingly in palatable soups decorated with meat, crabs and mushroom a la tro-tro drivers’ style.
