The Federal Capital Territory Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, has confirmed that the decomposing corpse found at Karmo Abuja, is the body of one Miss Blessing Karami, an undergraduate student of National Open University.
Miss Blessing Karami, was reported missing on September 11 after she left her place of work in the Garki area of Abuja before closing hour. Following the report, police arrested one Aminu, who is said to be the boyfriend of the deceased. Genesis Karami, the elder brother of the deceased narrated to newsmen, the sequence of events that led to the discovery of the decomposing corpse of his sister.
According to Genesis, he told the police that he received a strange call giving details about his sister’s corpse on Tuesday, but the lead turned out to be false.“
The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to office the day she went missing,” Mr Karami told the police at the Durumi Divisional Police Headquarters on Wednesday.
Mr Karami told journalists that after he was unable to contact the Durumi DPO, he had to go to the police station at Karmo, but upon reaching there with a group of policemen, the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing location until they got tired and left.
He, however, later confirmed that his sister had died and her body has been found.“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental people to come and help us pack. We cannot travel with it. We just have to bury it here. It seems she died for days due to the nature of the decomposition,” Mr Karami revealed. The police has vowed to uncover both the immediate and remote causes of Miss Karami’s death.
“We wish to inform the public that our primary focus at this time, under the directive of the Commissioner of Police, FCT, Haruna Garba, is to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the circumstances surrounding Blessing Karami Moses’ untimely death. Our commitment to this case is unwavering, and we are determined to uncover both the immediate and remote causes of this tragic incident.
“While we are working closely with the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) to facilitate the respectful retrieval of the decomposed remains acknowledging the sensitive nature of this task,
We will continue to provide updates to the public as our investigation progresses. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Blessing Karami Moses during this difficult time.”
