Residents of popular Airport road district of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have been thrown into disarray after the discovery of a mutilated baby’s body on a heap of gravel.
The body was discovered by a resident of Zamani community, along the road, by one Shedrack Musa who said the corpse was discovered by a commercial cyclist by the roadside over the weekend.
The corpse which was that of a new-born baby girl without its right limb, caused the cyclist to raise an alarm which then attracted some motorists plying the airport road.
“But the pathetic part is that the new born baby’s left hand was removed which makes me suspect the child might have been stolen by ritualists who dumped the body here,” he said.
Another resident, Samuel Isaac, who also suspected the baby might have been stolen for ritual, wondered why government has not installed CCTV camera’s along Airport road.
“If government had installed CCTV camera along this road, even if it was in the middle of the night, those behind this evil act would be exposed by the camera,” he said.
