A male corpse was on Thursday morning discovered near the Central Mosque of Phase II Quarters in Kwali town in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
A resident, Isaac Emmanuel, said the corpse was found by the road a few metres from the mosque.
He said, “The truth is that nobody can say for sure what killed the man because there were no wounds on him. Some people suspect he might have been attacked by motorcycle snatchers elsewhere and left here; but only God knows.”
He added that residents remained unsettled as the deceased could not be identified.
He added that, “Even the Okada union came to the scene, but they could not identify him as one of their own.”
Our reporter gathered that vigilantes, in the company of police officers, later arrived at the scene and evacuated the corpse to a mortuary.
A vigilante, simply identified as Yakubu, said efforts were ongoing to trace the man’s family.
A police source at the Kwali Division also confirmed the incident, stating that the corpse was moved to the mortuary while an investigation was underway.
