Unidentified man’s corpse found on Abuja-Lokoja road

A yet-to-be-identified male corpse has been found at Gumbo junction, near Yangoji village, along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.

A witness, Iliya Samson, said the man’s corpse was found around 6am with injuries on his head, hands and legs.

The witness said he suspected that the man might have been pushed from a moving vehicle or knocked down by a vehicle along the highway.

Samson, who said some motorists stopped over to have a glimpse of the corpse, added that he was on his way to the farm when he saw the corpse by the roadside.

He recalled that a similar incident happened late last month when an unidentified male adult corpse was found at Kwaita village, along the same highway.
