said.
Mustapha said after waiting endlessly for his daughter
return, he was informed that her decomposing body was
found inside a well along Agwan Ozoro, in the Karshi
development area of Nasarawa State.
“Upon hearing the news, I mobilised people to go there
and check if it were her remains that were found.
On reaching there, the search team told me that the body
had decomposed beyond recognition.
They added that the body was found inside a deep well,
saying several attempts made to remove the corpse from
the well were unsuccessful.
It was when the police brought her picture that we were
able to identify her through her legs and there was
nothing we could do but to bury her there according to
Muslim injunctions.
She had been in Keffi for the past three years with her
mother, who is also an undergraduate at the department of
accountancy of the same institution”he said
Confirming the incident, the state Police spokesperson, ASP
Umaru Ismaila, said investigations into the matter is
ongoing.
