A pastor, identified as Segun Adebisi, has been found dead in an uncompleted building in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

A resident of the area, Odion Rufus, disclosed that the pastor was found dead in the building on Saturday morning during a search after he had been declared missing.

He added that the incident was reported to the police while the family members were in search of the cleric.

The resident revealed that the body of Adebisi was recovered with injuries on his head, adding that the pastor’s remains have been deposited at a morgue in Abuja.

He said: “During the week, we dispersed into the bush around the pipeline extension area from 8pm till 12am but we could not trace him.

“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.
