The naked body of a former student of the University of Abuja, Blessing Otunla, was on Sunday found inside a drainage channel around Iddo area of the Federal Capital Territory.
Otunla studied English Language at the university two years earlier and returned to the school from her base in Oyo State on Saturday in order to get her transcripts.
Some students found her the dead body at a permanent site area of the school inside the drain along the road and raised alarm.
Her body was later identified by someone who knew her.
A cousin of the deceased with the Twitter handle, @Dondekojo, confirmed the news.
She tweeted: “I lost a cousin yesterday, and it’s emblematic of the state of the country. Why do graduates need to travel all the way for transcript? She travelled to Abuja for her transcript and was found dead in a gutter; so sad.”
FCT police spokesperson, Mariam Yusuf, said the command was on the trail of the perpetrators of the act.
