The Idokpa Community close to the Benin Bye Pass, Edo State was thrown into panic as the lifeless body of a middle-aged woman was found dangling in an uncompleted building on Thursday morning.

One of the residence who simply identified himself as Samuel confirmed that the woman does not reside in the community. He stated that many of the residence who saw her corpse could not identify the deceased, fuelling speculation that she might have come from another part of the city.

He said: “We all ran there when the news got to us but no one seems to know the woman or where she came from. Hopefully, the police will help unravel the mystery.”
