Police discover decomposing body of engineer in Abuja apartment

The decomposing corpse of Humphrey Nnaji, an Abuja-based construction engineer, has been found in his apartment in the Dawaki area of the federal capital territory (FCT).

Josephine Adeh, FCT police spokesperson, confirmed the incident to TheCable.

Adeh said the police are carrying out an investigation to determine the cause of the engineer’s death.

Nnaji’s neighbours were said to have smelt a foul odour coming from his apartment on Saturday and then alerted the police.

The police, on arrival, reportedly found the deceased’s body on a chair inside the apartment. The body was evacuated while the house was cordoned off.

According to Punch, a source said while observing the crime scene, the police found a hammer beside Nnaji’s corpse.

“The deceased must have been killed with a hammer. A sledgehammer with blood stains was found beside him. Also, the backside of his head had a deep cut. He was seated on his chair with two pieces of handset charging cord cables around his neck,” the source reportedly said.

“Also, a 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.”
