…As Police Commence Investigations
Lucky Obukohwo Reporting
The operatives of the Edo State Police command have reportedly discovered the body of a final-year Microbiology student of Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, simply identified as Blessing.
She was found dead days after she was allegedly declared missing by a close friend.
It was gathered that Blessing was last seen on Sunday and missed a scheduled examination on Monday but messages allegedly sent from her phone claimed she had been kidnapped and that a ransom was being demanded.
It was further learnt that the friend who initially raised the alarm was said to have disallowed concerned students from searching her residence, raising suspicion over Blessing’s whereabouts and safety.
Sources said the Police, acting on a tip-off, reportedly discovered Blessing’s decomposing body within the compound and investigations are currently ongoing to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death.
Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Moses Yamu, while confirming the incident, said investigation had begun.
