Abuja Police yet to identify dead toddler found in suitcase



The police in Abuja, Nigeria said they are yet to identify the male child, whose corpse was found stuffed in a suitcase.

The incident happened last Saturday and the police have arrested one Usman Inuwa, who was caught with the suitcase.

The suspect, said to be from Bwari, an Abuja satellite town, was arrested at Maitama when he attempted to travel with the suitcase.

Sources, however, said the incident happened at the Tipper garage, near Gwarimpa.

Passengers in the bus with the suspect raised suspicions when he vehemently refused to let go of the suitcase, following the bus conductor's insistence that the bag stay in the booth.

The passengers forcefully seized the suitcase and opened it and were shocked to find the lifeless body of a toddler in the suitcase.

The case was subsequently reported to the police.

Doris England, spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, confirmed the incident.

“He (Inuwa) has not mentioned any accomplices and other issues surrounding the dead child; the case is being investigated,” England said.
