From Uchenna Inya, Abakaliki
A decomposing body of yet-to-be identified person has been found inside electricity transformer cage in No 3 Onogoro Street linking Lot 2 International market, Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
People living around the area discovered the body on Thursday morning.
Sunday Sun correspondent, who visited the area on Friday afternoon, saw blood on the decomposing body.
The body was lying beside the wall of the cage with handgloves on his hand.
A lady, Blessing Igwe, who owns a hair salon beside the electricity transformer cage, told Sunday Sun that the development had scared customers away from patronizing her.
“This decomposing body here is affecting me a lot because my customers are not coming to my shop anymore and I am not staying in it again until it is evacuated.
“My customers and everybody are afraid of coming around this area. Policemen, EEDC officials have been coming here since Thursday, taking pictures and all that but I don’t know why the body has not been evaluated.” she stated.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, said he had not received any report regarding the dead body.
