Missing Abuja corps member found dead, private parts reportedly removed
A member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Stephanie Se-Ember Terungwa, who was declared missing in Abuja has been found dead.
The deceased family had reported that Ms Terungwa was last seen on Thursday morning, April 14, 2022, at Lokogoma area of Abuja.
Her uncle, Richard Iorliam, said she was abducted with her one-year-old son after attending CDS exercise. The baby was later found but the mother is still missing, Richard had said.
It was gathered that Stephanie who is based in Makurdi, Benue state, graduated from Microbiology and was undergoing her NYSC in the FCT when the unfortunate incident happened.
However, a statement by the JS Tarka University, Makurdi, Benue State, SUP, revealed that her body was found lifeless as she had been murdered in her corps uniform with all her private parts removed.
Her death has sparked an outcry on social media with many demanding Justice for the deceased.
However the NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, said this in a short statement on Thursday.
He said, “The attention of NYSC management has been drawn to the pictures making the rounds in the social media of a missing corps member deployed to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
“The corpse was found wearing the NYSC Khaki trouser with the face defaced beyond recognition.
“On account of this, management reported the discovery to relevant security agencies to help identify the body. It was later confirmed that the remains was that of a missing corps member, Stephanie Se-Ember Terungwa, with State Code Number FC/21B/5807.
“Investigations are, however, currently on-going to unravel the identity of the perpetrators of the dastardly act in order to bring them to justice. May her soul rest in peace.”
