The House of Representatives has provided clarification on claims that an unidentified body was found on Sunday close to the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
The deceased’s body was discovered inside a red Peugeot 406 parked close to the Annex Building Gate, which is near the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, according to findings.
According to House spokesman Rep. Akin Rotimi Jr., the clarification comes after the Nigeria Police Force, the case’s primary investigation body, released its formal report. He went on to say that the House wanted to avoid rumours by providing the public with correct information.
The victim, thought to have been a labourer at a building site within the complex, was discovered inside the vehicle at approximately nine in the morning, according to Rotimi, who cited the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, of the National Assembly Division.
“The body was discovered in a sleeping position on the back seat and was already in an advanced state of decomposition.
“The police have evacuated the remains to the mortuary, and efforts are ongoing to establish the identity of the deceased and notify the family,” Rotimi said.
He further added that the National Assembly is working closely with relevant security within Abuja and emergency agencies to ensure a thorough investigation.
“On behalf of the House, we extend our sympathies to the family and associates of the deceased once identified,” he said.
