Missing cyclist found dead in FCT building

The decomposing body of Nura Yusuf, a commercial cyclist who had been missing for several weeks, was discovered inside an uncompleted building in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The site is located near the Gas Pipeline area in Unguwar Sabo-Tasha, along the Abaji-Gwagwalada Road.

Local farmers reportedly found the body on a Saturday after noticing a foul odor emanating from the building. Yusuf, a native of Bagwa Local Government Area in Kano State, had allegedly picked up passengers heading toward the Gas Pipeline area before he was strangled.

Police from the Abaji Division were alerted to the scene, but because the body had already decomposed, officers buried the corpse at the site. Yusuf, a resident of Abaji town, is survived by his pregnant wife.
