They returned back to Makurdi on Saturday after the burial. When they returned, she didn’t go back home but slept at her friend’s house around the modern market area.
The next day, Sunday, July 16, 2023, was her birthday 32nd birthday. She left her friend’s house with a promise to call her friend by 3pm, so that they can sit out.
However, when she didn’t call back as arranged, the friend called to find out why she hadn’t called, but she didn’t pick her calls. The friend kept calling the whole of Sunday and continued till Monday, but she still didn’t pick the phone.
On Monday, the friend got a message that was sent from the lady’s (deceased) phone, but later on realised that she may not have been the one that actually sent the message, asking her to come to a certain address and when her friend got to the place, she discovered that she was d£ad and di§m£mb£red and some of her body parts sc@ttered all over the place.
While in a state of shock she called her husband to the scene and the husband in turn called the police and it was discovered that her eyes, ears, tongue, br£@sts among other body parts were r£moved and taken away by whoever may have perpetrated the act.
This deceased lady had been through a lot in recent times. She had gone through one tr@uma and another. Only recently, she lost her elder sister.”
