Decomposed Body Found in Car at National Assembly Gate

A decomposed body was discovered on Sunday, September 7, inside a parked car near the annex gate of the National Assembly complex.

The deceased, identified by police as 55-year-old Gaddafi Iwar, a Tiv man who had worked as a construction labourer in the complex, was found in a red Peugeot 406 with registration number BWR-577 BF around 9:00 a.m.

Medical officials at the National Assembly Clinic confirmed his death before the remains were taken to Asokoro General Hospital, which declined acceptance due to the advanced state of decomposition.

Community leaders later moved the body to Gbawu Village on the AMAC–Kuje border for immediate burial to prevent any health risk.
