The lifeless body of a yet- to-be identified woman has been discovered in a river in the Bukuru Low-cost community, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The gruesome discovery which was made on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, has thrown the community into mourning and shock.
A video circulating online shows concerned residents pulling the woman’s corpse out of the river.
The incident comes just over a week after a similar discovery in the Special Site area of Pankshin Local Government Area, where residents found the remains of aborted twins dumped in a polythene bag at a refuse site.
The male and female fetuses, believed to be about five months old, were discovered on Wednesday behind the residence of a commercial driver, Enman Danladi. An eyewitness said a farmer noticed a dog sniffing a bag with flies hovering around it at the dump and alerted Danladi.
“I had just returned from work when the man knocked on my door and asked me to follow him to the refuse dump behind my house,” Danladi recounted. “He told me he had been chasing away a dog that was sniffing a polythene bag. When he eventually opened it, he discovered the aborted twins and quickly came to inform me.”
Danladi said he mobilized neighbors to the scene, and the remains were later buried at the site.
