The corpse of a man suspected to be a commercial motorcyclist has been found tied to a tree in a forest near Kilankwa village in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.

A resident, Garba Bala, said the corpse was found last Thursday morning by a farmer who was on his way to the farm, who alerted vigilantes to the scene.

A commercial motorcyclist, simply identified as Usman, told our reporter that the victim was declared missing last Wednesday after he reportedly picked two passengers from Gwagwalada to Kilankwa village, adding that the victim was probably attacked by the hoodlums who boarded the motorcycle and took away the motorcycle.

He added that the corpse was evacuated and buried in Unguwar Abattoir in Gwagwalada.

City & Crime gathered that a similar incident happened in the area last month, when another motorcyclist was strangled to death by hoodlums who escaped with his motorcycle.

The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Adeh Josephine, was yet to confirm the incident.
