Two weeks before the deaths of Emmanuel and Bichi, the corpse of Kandoon Louisa Lornumbe, a native of Benue was found by the roadside in the capital city.
The young woman ‘s body was found dumped after Mpape Junction.
She was suspected to be a victim of one-chance criminals terrorizing the nation’s capital.
The security situation in Abuja has been of concern despite repeated assurances from security operatives and the government.
