An official of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) has evacuated the corpse of a young man dumped inside the drainage in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
Our correspondent, who visited the scene on Saturday morning, sighted a young man covered with blood and dumped near a transformer unit at Old GRA, near the former International School on Damboa road, Maiduguri.
