Police investigate identify of decomposed body dumped behind Ebonyi transformer
The police command in Ebonyi State has said an investigation is ongoing to unravel the identity of a decomposed body found behind a power transformer in Abakaliki.
The state police spokesperson, DSP Joshua Ukandu, said on Saturday that the investigation would also seek to confirm what must have caused the death.
Mr Ukandu explained that the corpse was found along Onogoro Street leading to the international market.
He said, “Yes, the command has received a report of a corpse found around the market. We are going to carry out an investigation in order to get details of what actually happened. The command has reached out to the DPO covering the area and I am sure plans are ongoing to evacuate the body. For now, nobody knows what happened and how the corpse was dumped behind the transformer. Whether he or she was into vandalism, we do not know yet.’’
