“On Saturday morning, we conducted another round of search around the same location, and we were in the process of giving up when one of us advised that we should extend the search to an uncompleted building.

“We met his body with injuries on his head looking like he was hit with some of the firewood found close to the body. His body has been taken to the mortuary,” Rufus disclosed.

Meanwhile, the FCT Police Command had yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
