Reports say the Sogakope District Police Command had gathered intelligence that a man from Eworyi family at Sokpoe, a suburb of Sogakope was found dead in his room and the family was preparing to bury him on Saturday, January 18, 2020.
In a bid to ascertain the cause of his death through autopsy, the command deployed a team of officers to the burial venue ostensibly to take the corpse but it had already been conveyed to the cemetery for burial.
According to Ghanaweb.com, the head of Eworyi family, Solomon Eworyi led the police to Sokpoe cemetery but the youth became incensed and trooped to the cemetery with offensive weapons to attack the police who professionally managed and returned to base.
However, at about 8 pm same day, the youth of Sokpoe carried the coffin containing the deceased, Emmanuel Norvietro alias” I need more” aged about 60 years to Sogakope Police Station and dumped it on the charge office counter amidst stone throwing, the news website reports.

It is not clear what made the youth change their mind to allow the police to carry out their duty.
Meanwhile, having cleared all the issues and restoring calm to the community, the police carried the corpse of ”I need more” to Richard Novati Catholic Hospital Morgue for preservation and autopsy.
