Abandoned lady’s corpse found in Jos

A young girl’s corpse was yesterday found in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

 The corpse of the girl who was identified as Ruth was discovered at a ‘car wash’ after a filling station near Farin Gada Bridge I, Jos North LGA.

 The deceased was said to have been raped and stabbed to death.

 Our correspondent gathered that the incident revealed that there was a struggle before her eventual death.\

 Another source said her corpse should have been dumped after being murdered in an unknown location.

 The incident generated tension in the area as some youths came out to find out what exactly happened.

 In the process, youths came out to fortify their positions, as such incidents often result in ethno-religious violence.

 However, the security agents quickly went to the area to restore normalcy before it erupted into violence.

 The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Plateau State Command, Alabo Alfred, could not be reached for a reaction.

 Ruth who lives in the Zaruma area was said to have just gotten a job in the Rayfield area of Jos about a week ago.

 She was said to have been attacked while returning home in the evening.
