AMA to exhume corpses buried without permits

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has warned its sextons and wardens to desist from burying corpses without due payment for grave space.

It said all payments concerning grave space in the Metropolis should be made at the Public Health Department at Adjabeng and not the cemeteries.
   
A statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the AMA, Numo Blafo called on the public to go through the proper procedures of acquiring permits to avoid their corpses being exhumed and the owners prosecuted.
 
The statement said all payment receipts should have a hologram and made available for verification before burial at the cemeteries.
