Iringe-Koko said: “Her parents sent her to go and buy meat in an abattoir and she didn’t return at the time they expected her to have come back. “So they went in search of her and saw her bicycle by a bush path. So they immediately informed the police, and the Divisional Police Officer swung into action and led a team to the bush.
“There they saw an uncompleted building and a shallow grave. So they (operatives) exhumed her corpse. One of the suspects has been arrested. Her corpse has been deposited in a morgue and investigation is ongoing.” The spokesperson for the Etche Local Government Area, Robinson Oluo, who also reacted to the incident, said that a suspect has been arrested over the incident, and is currently at the Okehi Divisional Police Station.”
