A student identified as Blessing Karami, of the National Open University of Nigeria located in Abuja, who was reported missing on September 11, 2023, has been found dead in the Karimo woods of the Federal Capital Territory.
It was gathered that Blessing was declared missing after she left her place of work in the Garki area of Abuja before closing hour on September 11, 2023.
The Divisional Police Headquarters, Durumi, Abuja, has arrested a man identified as Aminu, who is said to be the boyfriend to the deceased, following an interrogation over her disappearance.
The elder brother to the deceased, Genesis Karami, told the police that he received a strange call giving details about his sister’s corpse on Tuesday september 19, 2023, but the lead turned out to be false.
“The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to office the day she went missing,”
Karami said he was unable to contact the Durumi DPO, as he had to go to the police station at Karmo, but upon reaching there with a group of policemen, the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing location until they got tired and left.
He, however, later confirmed that his sister had died and her body has been found.
“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental agency to come and help us. We cannot travel with it. We just have to bury it here. It seems she has died for days due to the nature of the decomposition,” Karami revealed.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the FCT SP Josephine Adeh, on Thursday September 21, 2023, said the police were determined to uncover both the immediate and remote causes of Karami’s death.
Adeh said, “The body of Blessing Karami, a 26-year-old woman who had been missing since September 11, 2023, was tragically discovered in a wooded area in Karimo. Her disappearance was reported to the authorities on September 14, 2023.
“We wish to inform the public that our primary focus at this time, under the directive of the Commissioner of Police, FCT, Haruna Garba, is to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the circumstances surrounding Blessing Karami Moses’ untimely death. Our commitment to this case is unwavering, and we are determined to uncover both the immediate and remote causes of this tragic incident.
“While we are working closely with the Abuja Environmental Protection Board AEPB, to facilitate the respectful retrieval of the decomposed remains acknowledging the sensitive nature of this task, We will continue to provide updates to the public as our investigation progresses. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Blessing Karami Moses during this difficult time.”
