A 20-year-old student of the Federal College of Education (FCE), Okene, who was reported missing by her family, has been found dead in a bush at Eika-Adagu, a community in Nigeria.
The deceased, identified as Suleiman Rahama Onono, was discovered on Monday by relatives with the support of local security personnel, following days of searching after her disappearance.
According to the family, Rahama was last seen on Saturday, January 24. All efforts to reach her afterward were unsuccessful, prompting concern among relatives, friends, and members of her college community.
The family said they were devastated to find that parts of her body, including her breasts and private areas, were missing, raising suspicions of foul play.
Police have conveyed the body to the morgue for preservation and autopsy, as investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death continue.
Residents of the area have expressed growing fear and renewed calls for improved security, including the installation of streetlights and increased patrols.
The location, known as Camp 2, has previously been associated with criminal activity, including recent violent attacks and the killing of two commercial motorcyclists, whose motorcycles were allegedly stolen.
Authorities have assured the public that investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the incident.
