The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has explained how the dead body of a pregnant woman was discovered at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, Imo State.
Recall that reports emerged claiming that a pregnant woman was raped to death at Imo Airport.
But reacting to the story, FAAN clarified that the incident was not perpetrated inside the Airport.
This was contained in a statement by the Director Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orahi.
She stated that on October 18, 2024, a report was made to Aviation Security (AVSEC) officers regarding a group of youths from Awaogwu Logara, a village bordering the airport, who were searching bush paths around the airport for a missing member of their community.
The statement read, “The naked body of a female, identified as Mrs. Chinwendu Amadi was discovered near Runway 17 axis bordering the Umueze Community.”
“All security operatives at the Airport, including the Airport Commandant and DPO, were instantly alerted by the Airport Chief of Security.”
Orahi further explained that acting on the repot, “a team of Police officers from the Umuneke Division, Ngor Okpala Local Government area, led by Inspector Vincent N. swung inti action. Through their investigation it was observed that the deceased sustained several stabs on the abdomen. There were no blood splatters or signs of struggle where her body was recovered to indicate that she was murdered at that place.”
She also added that FAAN night guards who were interrogated did not reported any unusual observations in the area.
DAILY TRUST reports that the police have since removed the woman’s body for further investigation.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria uses this medium to call on anyone who has information that would assist in the unravelling of this unfortunate incident to please contact relevant security agencies for prompt action. The perpetrators of this dastardly act must be brought to face the full wrath of the law,” the statement concluded.
