Woman Found Dead in Abuja Residence

A woman has been found dead in her residence at the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) estate in Maitama, the Federal Capital Territory.

According to Security Expert Zagazola Makama, Hajiya Fanna Mohd Abare, who had reportedly been unresponsive for about two days, was discovered in a decomposed state by her sister, Hajiya Aisha Mongo, on December 17 at approximately 5:00 PM. The door to her room had been locked and had to be forced open before the body was found.

Police detectives were immediately dispatched to the scene. Due to the advanced state of decomposition and to prevent potential public health risks, the Abuja Environmental Health Department was contacted, and the body was subsequently evacuated for burial at Gudu Cemetery.

Police sources stated that no foul play is suspected, but investigations are ongoing to officially determine the cause of death.
