A young lady, yet to be identified, was found dead and dumped in Ombi 1 community near Mustapha Agwei II State Polytechnic, Lafia.
This tragic discovery comes just a week after a gospel singer was accused of killing and dismembering his girlfriend, Salome Adaidu, in the same state.
The Ombi 1 community has been thrown into panic over the incident.
The area, known for being a hideout for hoodlums posing as students of the State Polytechnic, has been plagued by increasing criminal activities.
The presence of numerous clubs, drinking joints, and social activities in the area has been linked to several untimely deaths of young people.
Despite regular patrols by security operatives, criminal activities persist, putting the lives of innocent residents at risk.
Investigations revealed that the young lady was brutally murdered on Saturday night.
Her body was reportedly dragged from a junction and dumped behind a compound, where it was discovered the next morning.
The police, through the Area Command, have launched an investigation into the murder.
However, no one has come forward to identify the deceased. Authorities are appealing to members of the public to assist in identifying the victim.
The police urge anyone with useful information to contact the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) on 08078434101.
