The body of a herder (name withheld) who went missing on Sunday has been found in a farm at Riwaza, near Fobgbe community in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
Villagers said the discovery was made around 6:22 p.m. on Monday by a farmer returning from his field.
The deceased was said to have left his settlement in Riwaza with his cows for grazing on Sunday morning but never returned.
His absence raised concern among residents after the Fulani community leader in Fobgbe, Ardo Shehu Usman, announced that a herder had been missing.
Confirming the incident on Wednesday, Ardo Usman said the matter was not immediately reported to security agencies because of the poor condition of the road linking the village to Kwali town.
We kept searching for him but It was not until Monday evening that a farmer saw the corpse and informed the community,” he explained.
The cause of death of the hearderis yet to be determined as at the time of filing this report.
