The body of a lady suspected to have been raped to death was found close to a filling station at Farin-Gada, in Jos North local government area of Plateau State on Sunday.
According to a witness who spoke to the media, the discovery of the body raised tension in the neighborhood as locals and students protested the barbaric act, but security agents stopped them before things got out of hand.
Before security intervention, hoodlums attacked innocent vendors at the tomato market in Farin Gada by taking advantage of the protest.
The woman, Ruth, was discovered with her underwear hanging on her legs and was half-naked, according to the eyewitness, leading them to suspect that she had been sexually assaulted.
“The lady’s underwear was hanging on her legs, an indication that she was raped. Her legs were dusty; this depicted that there was a struggle or, probably, she was raped somewhere and her corpse dumped there. She was also stabbed.
“It was discovered that she lived at Zaruma in Farin-Gada and recently got a job in Rayfield K. She was said to have closed from work on Saturday evening at 8pm,” the source said.
According to a different account, the victim and her cult member boyfriend had a falling out and he killed her and dumped her body.
However, DSP Alfred Alabo, a spokesman for the Plateau State Police Command, who confirmed the incident, stated that the police have started an investigation.
