Police discover decomposed bodies of woman, 2 children inside Abuja shop

A disturbing discovery has shocked residents of Abaji Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) after police uncovered the decomposed remains of a woman and her two children inside a shop along Tudun Wada Street.

The grim find was made after a resident alerted authorities about a strong stench emanating from the premises.

According to reports by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Thursday, the operation involved police detectives, officials of the Area Council Environment Department, and personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), who were all deployed to the scene.

“The shop, which was locked from the inside, was forcibly opened with the assistance of neighbours.

“Inside, the decomposed bodies of one Ann Patrick Okorie, 44, her daughter Christiana, 13, and son Ebube, 9, all natives of Amechi Ohaozara LGA, Ebonyi State, were found.

“The corpses were evacuated to Abaji General Hospital, where a medical doctor certified them dead and later deposited in the hospital morgue.”

Authorities say investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
