UniJos female student found dead with 2 eyes plucked out
A missing 300 Level female student of Special Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Jos, identified as Jennifer Anthony, has been found dead in a hotel room in Jos, Plateau State capital, with her two eyes plucked out.
The victim who had earlier been declared missing by her family on 31st December, 2021, is thought to have fallen into the hands of suspected money ritual killers.
All attempts to find her had proved abortive until her body was recovered in a hotel in Jos with both eyes gorged out, indicating she may have been killed for ritual purposes.
A Snapchat video and picture of Jennifer and a young male companion identified simply as Moses while driving in his car prior to her death is trending in the social media.
Sources have claimed that Moses is also a student of the University of Jos, although that has yet to be established.
The development has sent cold jitters down the spines of many residents of the Tin City and Home of Peace and Tourism.
This is because Jennifer’s case is the second within two weeks that a similar case of a female dead body was found with missing parts in Jos.
Reacting to the development, many residents of Jos on social media point accusing fingers at the young man seen in the video as the prime suspect connected to the death of Jennifer who should be apprehended immediately by security operatives.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, ASP Ubah Ogaba, has confirmed the incident.
Ogaba said, “The Command is aware of the ugly incident which took place on January 1, at the Domus Pacis Lodge. The suspect, who is at large, went away with all means to identify the victim.
“The Commissioner of Police has ordered a discrete investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and to arrest the perpetrators of that dastardly act.
“We promise to furnish the media with more details on the incident as it unfolds.”
The PPRO added that the corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of the Plateau Specialist Hospital, Jos.
Periscope International reports that ritual killers targeting young females seem to be currently on the prowl in Jos, hence security operatives need to be proactive in a bid to rein in the criminals before many ladies fall victim.
