Dead Body Without Parts Dumped In The Pastor's House in Kaduna

Dead body of one Najir Yusuf was October 31

found in the house of Pastor Solomon Bida

located in Malali village, Kaduna LGA.

Speaking with The Daily Trust about the incident,

the pastor narrated that he discovered dumped

body early morning in an uncompleted part of his

compound. First he thought the man was asleep.

“I thought it was a man sleeping due to darkness.

But that notwithstanding, I raised alarm to attract

other neighbours around. My son with my wife

joined me. I did not touch the body. But the police

officer who came said some parts of the deceased

were removed by unknown persons.”

With the help of a policeman living nearby it

became possible to quickly assume that the man

was dead.

“There is a police man who lives close to my house.

I quickly sent for him. When he came, he

confirmed that it was a lifeless body. Immediately,

he alerted Malali Divisional Police Officer (DPO)

who came and removed the corpse. Some suspects

had been arrested, including the elder brother of

the dead man.”

The police found out that the deceased, Najir, had

disappeared several days before he was discovered

in the pastor’s house. The relatives identified the

body.

The clergyman confessed he still could not recover

from the incident and kept praying for God to

expose the perpetrators.

A similar story took place on the same Friday

in Ungwan Dosa of Kaduna State, where resident

found the lifeless body of a teenager

allegedly electrocuted in an attempt to steal an

electricity cable.

Abubakar Mohammed, an eyewitness, narrated:

“I came out of my house around 7.15am to drop

my children at Research School, on my way back, I

came in collusion with a large crowd at a refuse

dump near the transformer located within the

Sardauna Memorial College premises where an

MTN mass is located.

“I parked my vehicle and came down to where the

crowd had gathered, upon getting there, I saw the

dead body of a boy laying under the transformer, I

started to ask people around what was was going

on and someone showed me an electricity cable

which was hanging and said they think the boy is

the one who cut the cable and in the process, he

got electrocuted.”

The investigation into the case of the dead body

dumped in the pastor’s house continues.
