  • Neighbours noticed a strong odor emanating from his apartment and promptly alerted the police
  • The deceased appeared to have been struck with a hammer

The decomposed body of Humphrey Nnaji, a construction engineer based in Abuja, was discovered and removed from his residence in the Dawaki area of the Federal Capital Territory.

According to reports, unknown individuals gained entry into Nnaji’s premises, killed him, and fled while he was at home.

On Saturday, Nnaji’s neighbors, unaware of his fate, noticed a strong odor emanating from his apartment and promptly alerted the police.

A local commercial driver known as Musa stated that when the police entered the apartment to investigate, they found Nnaji’s remains seated on a chair. Musa said, “The engineer’s corpse was found in his apartment in the Dawaki area. The police came to remove his body on Saturday around 8 pm. The corpse was already decomposing, indicating that the incident may have occurred before Saturday. The residents in the area are still in shock over how this happened. The house has been cordoned off.”

“The police also found a note on his table purportedly written by someone named Alfa. In the note, Alfa claimed to have killed Nnaji in retaliation for his sister’s death and accused him of involvement in fraudulent activities targeting young women, for Yahoo Plus. ” the source added.

The spokesperson for the FCT command, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is currently underway.
