According to him, the corpse of the missing student was discovered at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital’s morgue in Gwagwalada during the family’s visit to the hospital mortuary.
He said, “The family of Murja called me in the afternoon and they confirmed that she died in an accident that occurred along the Lugbe – Airport Road last Friday. They visited the mortuary at the University of Abuja, Teaching Hospital, where her corpse was found.”
Yewuti said the family of the deceased student had engaged the services of some security agents from Kaduna State to track her location before the discovery of her corpse at the mortuary.
He said all arrangements had been concluded by the family of the deceased student to retrieve the corpse from the morgue today for burial.
The Lugbe Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Commander Sunday Ajokotola, while speaking with our reporter through telephone on Monday, confirmed that ten people were involved in a ghastly motor accident, in which four including a female were burnt to death along Lugbe -Airport Road last Friday.
