Blessing Moshood, a 29-year-old Sociology graduate of Kogi State University, was allegedly killed last Thursday night and her body dumped in a canal in Jikwoyi area of the federal capital territory.
A sister of the deceased, Abigail Moshood, said Blessing left their home around 8pm that day after speaking with someone on the phone.
She said the deceased later called about an hour later, saying she would return home briefly to pick up her phone charger, which she had forgotten.
Abigail said the family became worried after they did not hear from Blessing again and she failed to return home the following day.
“We later heard people talking about the body of a woman discovered inside a canal, and someone described the type of hairstyle the deceased had on, which matched my sister’s.
“My mother started crying, and we also learnt that policemen from the Jikwoyi Police Station had evacuated the corpse, which was found half-naked with only a top on, to a mortuary in Mararaba, Nasarawa State”, she said.
Abigail said she later visited the Jikwoyi Police Station to inquire about the incident and was shown photographs of the deceased, which confirmed it was her sister.
The FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation into the case is ongoing.
