The decomposed body of a 55-year-old man has been discovered in a car parked outside the annex gate of the National Assembly complex, Abuja, the police have confirmed.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the deceased, identified as Gaddafi Iwar, a Tiv man suspected to be a labourer at a construction site within the complex, was found motionless in a red Peugeot 406 with registration number BWR-577 BF at about 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 7.

The body was evacuated to the National Assembly Clinic for medical confirmation and later conveyed to Asokoro General Hospital, but was rejected due to advanced decomposition.

The Tiv community and youth leaders eventually took the body to Gbawu Village, a border town between AMAC and Kuje Area Council, for burial to prevent a health hazard. (Zagazola)
