Decomposed body of 55-year-old man found in car at National Assembly
Police have confirmed the discovery of a decomposed body inside a vehicle parked at the annex gate of the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
The deceased, identified as 55-year-old Gaddafi Iwar, a Tiv man suspected to be a labourer at a construction site within the complex, was found in a red Peugeot 406 with registration number BWR-577 BF around 9:00 am on Sunday, September 7.
Sources said the body was initially evacuated to the National Assembly Clinic for confirmation before being taken to Asokoro General Hospital.
However, the hospital reportedly rejected the remains due to advanced decomposition.
Tiv community leaders later conveyed the body to Gbawu village, a border town between Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, and Kuje Area Council, where it was buried to prevent a health hazard.
