Another beheaded body found in Plateau

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 a beheaded person 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.

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 killing.

Efforts to obtain confirmation from the spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, SP Alfred Alabo, before filing this report were unsuccessful.
