The gruesome incident comes barely two months after the beheading of Amina Suleiman, the pregnant daughter of Al-Makura’s campaign manager.
Galadima, the governor’s the Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, confirmed the family tragedy to Punch.
He narrated what had happened on the fateful day with his 20-year-old child, who was a student of the Nasarawa State University.
“It was on Thursday, February 26, 2015. My daughter left home for school to sit for a test at the Pianku campus along Nasarawa Road along with three of her friends.”
The family expected Memuna back home a few hours after the test, scheduled for 10am. However, since then they had not seen the girl alive, the grieving father disclosed. Her decomposing body was found later along Agwan Ozoro.
“Upon hearing the news, I mobilised people to go there and check if it were her remains that were found. On reaching there, the search team told me that the body had decomposed beyond recognition.
“They added that the body was found inside a deep well, saying several attempts made to remove the corpse from the well were unsuccessful.
“It was when the police brought her picture that we were able to identify her through her legs and there was nothing we could do but to bury her there according to Muslim injunctions.
“She had been in Keffi for the past three years with her mother, who is also an undergraduate at the department of accountancy of the same institution.”
The report also provides that Memuna was apparently decapitated, after which the attackers threw her remains into the well.
The father of the deceased promised that the criminals would not leave unpunished.
