The body of a 50‑year‑old man, Jude Thaddeus, was recovered from a dry well at his home in Aku Village, Base 5, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, after reports that he had been killed and his remains set on fire.
Investigators say the remains were found in the well at the victim’s residence, a location that has been described as a dry well, meaning it does not contain water.
Jude Thaddeus was identified by authorities as the deceased. No further details about the circumstances of his death or the identity of those responsible have been released.
Nasara State, situated in central Nigeria, is one of the country’s 36 states and is known for its rural communities where dry wells are common for water storage.
Police and local officials are reportedly working to determine how the man was killed and why his body was disposed of in the well. The investigation is ongoing.
