The Horrifying Story Of Mortuary, Hotel & Shrine Raided In Imo State (VIDEO)
Guys, this story is one of the most shocking discoveries in Imo State in recent years. It is about a man called Stanley Morocco Oparaugo, and how a hotel, a private mortuary, and a residential home linked to him became the center of a disturbing investigation. What officials found inside that mortuary surprised even trained health workers and police officers. It caused fear, confusion, and anger across the community.
Let me take you through the full timeline of what happened and how the case developed. Before December 6, 2025, security agencies in Imo State were already receiving several reports about strange activities happening in Umuhu Autonomous Community, Ngor-Okpala LGA.
For months, travellers along the Owerri–Aba Expressway complained about: kidnappings, missing persons, and suspicious movements around a particular hotel and mortuary. These locations, according to informants, were connected to a man named Stanley “Morocco” Oparaugo. Police began monitoring the area quietly. They took complaints seriously but waited until they had enough intelligence to conduct a proper operation.
On Saturday, December 6, 2025, a combined team from different government agencies moved into Umuhu. The team included: Imo State Police, Health officers, Environmental officials, Local government representatives, Vigilante groups
The operation was led by the Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma. Their mission was to inspect: A hotel,
A private mortuary, The suspect’s home. What they found next shocked everyone.
Inside the mortuary, officials found several decomposed bodies. Some bodies were: badly decayed,not preserved properly,
and showed signs of mutilation. The place was extremely unhygienic and unacceptable for storing human remains. Health officers immediately raised concerns about illegal activities, because:
the condition of the corpses was not normal, the mortuary did not meet any professional standard, and the environment posed a danger to public health. This is where suspicions of illegal organ-harvesting first came up. The authorities did not confirm it, but they said the condition of the bodies raised serious questions. Investigators recorded videos, took photographs, and collected important evidence.
After seeing what was inside the mortuary, the Imo State Government took immediate action. They ordered: the hotel to be sealed, the mortuary to be sealed, and the residential building to be secured. Only forensic experts were allowed to enter afterwards. The public was kept away for safety and investigation purposes. The next day, December 7, the police made a public announcement.
Police spokesperson, Henry Okoye, declared: “Stanley Morocco Oparaugo is now wanted by the police. Anyone with useful information should contact us immediately.” By this time, Oparaugo had disappeared.
