A large crowd has gathered near a river in Kubwa, a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja after suspected ritualists dumped a woman’s body there.

According to Sahara Reporters, residents on Monday found the butchered body of a yet-to-be-identified lady by a river in PW area, near Deeper Life Church.

It was believed to have been dumped there by suspected ritualists

The incident attracted a large crowd as residents thronged the location to catch a glimpse of the butchered and decapitated body of the lady.

When SaharaReporters visited the scene, a beheaded corpse of a naked woman packed inside two bags was seen beside the river.

The body parts were cut into pieces with blood stains on the bags.

An eyewitness who spoke on condition of anonymity told our correspondent that the corpse was discovered early Monday morning following the stench coming from the spot.

He said the body might have been dumped by suspected ritualists in the night.

He said, “We saw the body this morning because of the odour that was coming from the river and when people moved closer, they found two bags with the body parts cut into pieces. We don’t know who dumped the body there but this looks like a ritual killing. 

“One of the ritualists may have dumped her here in the night and zoomed off.”

At the time of filing this report, some policemen from Kubwa Divisional Police station were sighted at the scene taking photographs of the corpse while the crowd lamented the tragedy.
