The corpse of one miss Blessing Karami (26) an undergraduate of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Abuja, have been discovered in the woods.
Karami went missing on September 11, 2023, as no one could account for her hereabout after she closed from her work place at the Garki area of Abuja.
She was however found dead in the woods in the Karimo area of the Federal Capital Territory on Thursday.
The elder brother to the deceased, Genesis Karami, told the police that he received a strange call giving details about his sister’s corpse on Tuesday, September 19, but the lead turned out to be false.
“The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to office the day she went missing,” Mr Karami told the police at the Durumi Divisional Police Headquarters on Wednesday.
Mr Karami told journalists that after he was unable to contact the Durumi DPO, he had to go to the police station at Karmo, but upon reaching there with a group of policemen, the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing location until they got tired and left.
“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental people to come and help us pack. We cannot travel with it. We just have to bury it here. It seems she died for days due to the nature of the decomposition,” Mr Karami revealed.
Reacting to the development on Thursday, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the police were determined to uncover both the immediate and remote causes of Miss Karami’s death.
“The body of Blessing Karami, a 26-year-old woman who had been missing since September 11, 2023, was tragically discovered in a wooded area in Karimo. Her disappearance was reported to the authorities on September 14, 2023.
