It was a gory sight yesterday, Saturday, November 16, 2024, as construction workers at the Light of the Nation Tower site in Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s community, Ekwulobia, in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, stumbled upon a freshly buried woman’s corpse.

The on-going construction in the area is part of Soludo’s initiative to beautify the environment and establish a smart mega city.

To this end, nearby buildings were encroached and to also accommodate the construction of the Ekwulobia Flyover and road dualization

According to sources that spoke with News Express, the unearthed corpse appears to be recently buried, raising questions about the identity of the victim and the circumstances surrounding her death.

Further investigation uncovered that the husband of the woman in question had passed away about five years ago.

On Saturday afternoon, a large crowd gathered at the scene, with many expressing shock and curiosity.

Attempts to reach out to officials from the construction company failed as they declined to comment.

However, insiders confirmed that community leaders had been informed, and a report was likely to be filed with the police.

The police are yet to confirm if the matter has been officially reported to them.
