Missing Abia landlady’s body found in soakaway

The remains of a missing landlady have been discovered in a 30-foot soakaway pit in a neighbor's compound in Umueleghele, Isialangwa South Local Government Area of Abia State. The discovery came after a search by residents following the woman's absence for several days. Community sources suggest she was involved in a land dispute with someone.

The Abia State Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, confirmed the finding on Friday during a briefing for journalists. He described the incident as under investigation and said the police are working to establish the circumstances of the woman's death. Sunday Nwakanma, a journalist with over 25 years of experience, reported on the story for Punch Newspapers.
