The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has launched an investigation into the murder of a construction engineer, Humphrey Uchenna Nnaji.
Nnaji’s decomposing corpse was discovered in his apartment in the Dawaki area of the FCT on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
According to reports, the engineer was killed by suspected assailants who gained entry into his apartment.
Nnaji’s neighbours started to smell a foul odour emitting from his apartment and informed the police. Upon gaining entry into the apartment, the policemen discovered Nnaji’s remains on a chair in the apartment.
A source in the FCT Police Command revealed that a hammer was found beside Nnaji’s corpse, along with a written note stating that the killing was allegedly carried out by one Alfa, who claimed to have acted on behalf of someone else.
“The deceased must have been killed with a hammer. A sledgehammer with blood stains was found beside him. Also, the backside of his (Nnaji’s) head had a deep cut. He was seated on his chair with two pieces of handset charging cord cables around his neck,” the source said.
“Also, a (written) note by someone who identified himself as Alfa was seen on his table. He claimed he killed the deceased to avenge the death of his sister and also accused him of using other girls for Yahoo Plus.”
The Spokesperson for the FCT command, SP Josephine Adeh said they are currently investigating the incident.
