Family of a missing man in Abuja have been left devastated after their loved one's lifeless body was found under the Katampe Bridge on Saturday. The unidentified man had been reported missing by his family days earlier. The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Sanusi, revealed on Saturday that the discovery of the body initially led to speculation of kidnapping and robbery.

However, investigators later discovered that the body belonged to the missing man. The deceased's mobile phone, which was missing, became a crucial lead in the investigation. Police traced the phone's last known communication to Mrs Rukayat Muhammed, a married woman from Garki Area 2. Mrs Muhammed, who allegedly had a romantic relationship with the deceased, was staying at the Good Samaritan Guest House with him.

Instead of reporting the incident to the police, Mrs Muhammed allegedly took the deceased's mobile phone and left the hotel. Two hotel workers, Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefat Bitrus, were later found to have removed the body from the room and dumped it under the bridge on the Kubwa Expressway. The police have not yet established the cause of the man's death but have emphasized that the investigation is ongoing. Anyone involved in the man's death or the concealment of his body faces legal repercussions.
