A female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Stephanie Se-Ember Terungwa, who was earlier declared missing in Abuja, has been found dead.

The family of the corps member had declared her missing on April 14, 2022.

However, the NYSC, in a statement issued by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, on Thursday, said the body of the female corps member was found with some of her body parts removed by suspected killers.

Megwa, in the statement titled, ‘Re: missing person’, stated that investigations were ongoing to unravel the identity of the suspected killers.

The NYSC spokesperson stated: “The attention of NYSC management has been drawn to the pictures making the rounds in the social media of a missing corps member deployed to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“Investigations are, however, currently on-going to unravel the identity of the perpetrators of the dastardly act in order to bring them to justice,” the statement read.
