The mutilated body of an unidentified man was found behind the Monday Market in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The corpse was discovered on Tuesday morning, October 6, by residents who alerted security operatives. The decomposing body was evacuated to the General Hospital, Pankshin, for identification.
Community member Panshak Rogo, who spoke at the hospital, said the identity of the deceased was yet to be established and some sensitive parts were removed.
“Presently we are at the General Hospital. We are here because there is an unidentified individual who was killed around Monday Market. The corpse is yet to be identified because some sensitive organs have been removed. His ears and nose were cut off, while his private part has also been tampered with,” Rogo said.
He urged members of the public with missing relatives to report at the Pankshin Police Station for possible identification and appealed to anyone with useful information to report to the police.
Rogo noted that nobody witnessed any violence, saying the victim may have been killed elsewhere and dumped behind the market.
Efforts to reach the Plateau State Police Command spokesman, SP Alfred Alabo, were unsuccessful as of press time.
