Suspicions are rife among the residents that the incident might be a ritual murder.

Some of the residents claim an unidentified person on motorbike deposited the body in the bush last Sunday.

Initially, some people had thought the content was refuse because people dump waste at the said location. However, the stench emanating from the apparently decomposed corpse caught the attention of passers-by.

Meanwhile some of the residents said they suspect a foul play. In their view, the development was an attempt by the perpetrators to cover up their criminal act by dumping the body there in order to make indigenes the first suspects.

Reports suggest that police have conveyed the corpse to the morgue for a possible autopsy, but have declined to make any initial comments. They have however assured residents of intensified police patrols in the area.

However, the police’s assurance did not completely allay the fears of the residents. Out of fear, some of them said they will avoid that particular route on suspicion that the perpetrators may still be hiding around the area to commit more crime.
