The murder of construction engineer Humphrey Uchenna Nnaji is being looked into by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.
On Saturday, July 8, 2023, Nnaji’s decaying body was found in his apartment in the FCT’s Dawaki neighborhood.
The engineer was reportedly killed by alleged assailants who broke into his apartment.
When Nnaji’s neighbors noticed a bad odor coming from his apartment, they called the police. The police officers broke into the apartment and found Nnaji’s remains on a chair inside.
A source in the FCT Police Command revealed that a hammer was found beside Nnaji’s corpse, along with a written note stating that the killing was allegedly carried out by one Alfa, who claimed to have acted on behalf of someone else.
“The deceased must have been killed with a hammer. A sledgehammer with blood stains was found beside him. Also, the backside of his (Nnaji’s) head had a deep cut. He was seated on his chair with two pieces of handset charging cord cables around his neck,” the source said.
“Also, a (written) note by someone who identified himself as Alfa was seen on his table. He claimed he killed the deceased to avenge the death of his sister and also accused him of using other girls for Yahoo Plus.”
The Spokesperson for the FCT command, SP Josephine Adeh said they are currently investigating the incident.
