Decomposing body of decapitated woman found at dump site in Plateau community
A decapitated woman's body has been found at a dump site in Plateau State, alarming local residents. Authorities are investigating the incident as community leaders call for increased safety measures.
Residents of Angwan Durun-Uwa in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State were thrown into panic on Thursday after the decomposing body of beheaded woman was discovered inside a sack at a refuse dump in the community.
The identity of the deceased is yet to be established as of the time of filing this report.
Confirming the incident, a youth leader in Barkin Ladi, Danjuma Ibrahim, said he received a distress call at about 7:30 a.m. informing him that a body had been dumped at the refuse site.
"I received a call at about 7 a.m. that a beheaded body had been dumped inside a sack at the refuse dump in Angwan Durun-Uwa. We immediately alerted the police, who responded to the scene," Ibrahim said.
He added that the body had already started decomposing before it was discovered, making it difficult to identify the victim.
He appealed to residents whose relatives were missing to report to the police, while urging security agencies to arrest the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
The corpse was subsequently evacuated from the scene, while investigations have commenced to establish the identity of the deceased and apprehend those responsible for the gruesome k!lling.
The latest incident comes days after a beheaded corpse was found on a farm inside UNIJOS.
