A social media post circulating on Sunday has drawn attention to an unverified claim that a young woman from Gboko in Benue State was murdered last week in a hotel in Maraba, Abuja, with her vital organs allegedly harvested. The post, shared by a user identified as Don Wagzy, includes a photograph of the woman and states that efforts to reach her relatives have so far been unsuccessful because her phone was taken by the suspected killers.
The poster is appealing to anyone who recognises the woman or knows her family in Gboko Town to contact a WhatsApp number provided in the post (08034526639) so that the information can be passed to the police. The claim remains unconfirmed by official sources, and no independent verification of the alleged incident, the victim’s identity or the circumstances surrounding her death has been publicly established at the time of writing.
Authorities have not issued a formal statement on the matter. Members of the public with relevant information are being urged to report it directly to the police rather than rely solely on social media channels.
