The female student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Blessing Karami who was declared missing on September 11 has been found.
Karami, 26, went missing after leaving her place of work in Garki Abuja, on the fateful day.
The family however revealed the news of her death on Wednesday evening.
Karami’s elder brother, Genesis Moses Karami, said his sister’s decomposing corpse was found in the bush in Karmo district of the Federal Capital Territory.
The brother who relocated from Kaduna to Abuja to lead the search, said the police had arrested her suspected boyfriend on Aminu, and the Divisional Police Headquarters, Durumi is detaining him for questioning.
The brother explained to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), on Tuesday evening when he left the station, how he received a call detailing his sister’s body but it turned out to be false.
“The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to office the day she went missing,” Moses Karami said.
He said he repeatedly contacted the DPO but was not going through, adding that he had to go to the police station at Karmo
He said he met a group of policemen, but the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing locations until they got tired and left.
He, however, confirmed that his sister was found dead on Wednesday.
“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental people to come and help us pack.
