The Commissioner of Police (CP), Nasarawa State Command, CP Adesina Soyemi has ordered full-scale investigation into the death of a staff of Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, FCT, Abuja, Mrs Grace Dauda, who was allegedly murdered in Goshen City estate, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, ASP Ramhan Nansel disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lafia.
ASP Nansel said the command received the complaint of the unfortunate incident through Goshen City Divisional Police Headquarters in Karu LGA of the state.
“The deceased’s body was discovered on January 6, 2022, when her colleagues reported the case to Goshen City Divisional police headquarters.
“About 1900hrs, she was not seen at work and all her phones were switched off. Worried about her absence from work without any information, they decided to check her; only to find her lifeless body on the Couch with a deep cut on her forehead.
“Upon receipt of the complaint, the Police operatives attached to Goshen City Division immediately visited the scene where preliminary investigation was conducted and the corpse removed to the mortuary for post mortem examination.
“Consequently, the neighbors of the deceased and the security guard of the apartments were invited for questioning. Two of the neighbors were granted administrative bail since there is no evidence connecting them with the commission of the offence while the security guard is still in custody and assisting with the investigation,” he said.
The PPRO said that CP Soyemi had sent his condolences to the family/colleagues of the deceased over the unfortunate incident.
He assured that, the Command will do everything possible to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators and bring them to book.
