Barely two weeks after an online vendor, Joy Onoh Ogochuckwu was reportedly killed by supposed clients who asked her to deliver some clothes, and her body dumped at a bush in North Bank area of Makurdi, another lady has been found dead in the Benue State Capital.

It was gathered that the body of a yet to be identified lady was discovered along Old Bridge Makurdi in the early hours of Sunday by some passers-by who alerted the Police.

An eyewitness who confirmed the incident to our correspondent said the body of the yet-to-be identified lady has been excavated by the Police.

“A lady was found dead along Makurdi old bridge this morning. The identity of the lady was yet to be ascertained. But her body has been excavated by men of the Benue State Police Command,” the eyewitness said.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of Benue State Police Command, DSP Catherine Anene, did not respond to calls put to her telephone line by our correspondent.
