Missing female lawyer’s body found mutilated in her chambers

Police in Abuja are
investigating the suspected murder of a
female lawyer, Mrs. Ijeoma Micah,
whose lifeless body was found
mutilated, yesterday, in her chambers
in the highbrow Maitama area of Abuja.
Ijeoma, the owner of Micah and Micah
Chambers, was found dead in her office
three days after she was said to have
gone missing.
Her husband, who it was learnt, arrived
from London on Sunday morning,
rushed to her office, as it was gathered
that he had not heard from her for three
days, only to discover her lifeless body.
He reported the matter to Area
Command of the police in Maitama.
Contacted on the development,
Commissioner of Police FCT, Femi
Ogunbayode, said that from
investigations, it was discovered that
some men had called Ijeoma to her
office for some business, which she
went for and afterwards, nothing was
heard from her.
Ogunbayode told Vg. that as a
result of the killing, a security detail
that was attached to Ifeoma was
arrested and was being interrogated for
alleged complicity.
He said that since the security detail
did not report the case to the police
until her husband came back from
abroad and discovered her body, he was
therefore a suspect.
He added that the Forensic
Investigation Unit at the FCT Command
was already at the office, where she was
allegedly killed and had commenced
investigation into the matter.
Sympathisers in the area said that the
Ifeoma's husband broke the door of her
office and on seeing the lifeless body of
his wife, almost killed himself while
crying.
It was also gathered that Ijeoma's car
had been missing from the usual
parking spot in front of her office
building.
