Woman burnt to death in Abuja-Police

The police in Abuja have launched an investigation
into how a woman was burnt to death over the
weekend.
A police spokesperson said charred remains of an
unidentified woman were found around Area 3
Junction during a patrol by police officers over the
weekend. No suspects had been taken into custody
in relation to the case, which the police are
investigating as homicide.
“The body of the woman whose identity is
unknown was found packed in a refuse bag,” police
spokesperson Mariam Yusuf said in a statement
Monday afternoon.
Ms Yusuf decried the development as unfortunate
and said the command had commenced
investigation. In the meantime, residents have been
advised to take extra security caution as criminals
become more desperate ahead of holiday seasons
for Christmas and New Year.
Suspicious activities can be reported to the police
at: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and
08028940883.
Insecurity has worsened around the Nigerian
capital for several months, despite repeated
assurances by the police and politicians that the
matter would be addressed. Violent criminals have
maintained regular attacks on residents, most of
which are linked to armed robbery.
