The Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) in Abuja has confirmed the death of its officer, Prisca Chikodi, who was murdered by ‘one chance’ criminals in Abuja.
DRTS spokesman Kalu Emetu disclosed this in an interview on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Emetu said the incident occurred on June 21, around 6:45 p.m., after her boss dropped her off at Area 1 bus stop, where she boarded a vehicle going to Gwagwalada.
“It turned to be that the occupants of the vehicle were criminals, popularly called ‘one chance’ operators. But unfortunately, she did not live to explain what actually happened on their way.
“This is because her corpse was found around 12:45 a.m. on June 22 at Shetima Mogonu Street, behind Berger, Utako. Meanwhile, her looks at death did not show any sign that she was shot, stabbed or strangulated, but looks like one in a normal sleep,” he said.
He said the directorate was mourning, as she was one of its brilliant and obedient officers.
Mr Emetu said that until her death, she was the personal assistant to the deputy director of human resources in the directorate.
