The lifeless body of an unidentified young woman has been discovered in the Ombi 1 community near Mustapha Agwei II State Polytechnic, Lafia.
The discovery comes just a week after the brutal murder and dismemberment of Salome Adaidu, allegedly by her lover, in the Orozo area of the state.
The community, which houses numerous clubs and drinking joints, has become a hub for hoodlums, many of whom pose as students of the nearby polytechnic.
Despite efforts by security forces to maintain order through regular patrols, violent crimes persist, leaving residents in a state of constant unease.
Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that the woman was murdered, and her body was dragged from a nearby junction before being dumped behind a compound on Saturday night. The body was discovered by residents early Sunday morning.
The Nasarawa State Police Command confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are underway.
Authorities are urging members of the public to come forward with any information that could help identify the victim or shed light on the circumstances of her death.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have relevant information to contact us immediately,” said a police spokesperson.
The public has been advised to reach out to the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) at 08078434101.
