The Yobe State Police Command has commenced a full-scale investigation into the discovery of the lifeless body of a 45-year-old woman found close to the Federal University, Gashua (FUG), in Bade Local Government Area of the state.
According to a statement released today, October 18, by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, the deceased has been identified as Falmata Abubakar, a resident of Abasha, Sarkin Hausawa Ward in Gashua.
The discovery was first reported by one Yusuf Sarkin Baka, a resident of Sabon Daula Ward, who alerted the police after spotting the body near the fence of the university. Upon receiving the report, a team of police operatives from the Gashua Division immediately visited the scene for an on-the-spot assessment.
Police say the deceased was found dressed in a black hijab. Her body was evacuated to the Specialist Hospital in Gashua, where a medical doctor confirmed her death. Following an autopsy, the body was released to the family for burial in accordance with Islamic rites.
However, preliminary findings suggest that the victim’s body was transported in a vehicle and dumped at the location where it was discovered about two kilometres away from her residence.
SP Abdulkarim stated that this discovery has prompted detectives to intensify efforts to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident and bring the culprits to justice.
He added that the Yobe State Police Command remains committed to ensuring public safety and urged residents to remain calm while cooperating with the authorities by providing any useful information that may aid the ongoing investigation.
