By A wave of fear and anxiety swept through the Ekpan community in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday morning following the tragic discovery of the body of an unidentified lady near the popular Express Junction.
The corpse, discovered by early morning commuters and traders opening their shops, has left residents stunned and alarmed.
The disturbing scene quickly spread across social media, as videos of the lifeless body began circulating online, sparking widespread concern.
“No one knows who she is or how she got there,” said a local resident who requested anonymity.
“It’s truly sad. We’re calling on the authorities to remove the body and help locate her family.”
As of the time of this report, the identity of the young woman remains unknown, and no official information has been released by the police or government.
In the absence of clear answers, residents have taken to social media platforms, sharing images and videos in the hope that someone might recognise her.
“This should serve as a warning to everyone, especially young women,” said another eyewitness at the scene.
“We’re pleading with mothers to talk to their daughters. The streets are no longer safe. People need to be extremely careful, especially at night.”
The tragic discovery has, once again, drawn attention to rising insecurity in Delta State, with community members calling on the police and state government to intensify efforts in crime prevention and invest in surveillance around hotspots like Ekpan.
So far, no official response has been given by the Uvwie Local Government Council or the Delta State Government.
While the community awaits action and answers, the mysterious death has left Ekpan residents mourning silently, troubled by yet another loss to senseless violence.
Anyone with information that may help identify the deceased or provide insight into the circumstances surrounding her death is urged to contact the nearest police station.
