Police authorities have confirmed the discovery of a decomposed body inside a vehicle parked at the annex gate of the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
The deceased was identified as 55-year-old Gaddafi Iwar, a Tiv man believed to have been working as a labourer at a construction site within the complex. His remains were found inside a red Peugeot 406 with registration number BWR-577 BF around 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 7.
Sources revealed that the body was first evacuated to the National Assembly Clinic for confirmation before being transferred to the Asokoro General Hospital. However, the hospital reportedly declined to accept the remains due to their advanced state of decomposition.
Community leaders of the Tiv ethnic group later took charge of the situation. They conveyed the body to Gbawu village, a border town between Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) and Kuje Area Council, where he was buried to prevent any potential health hazard.
