Missing kids found dead in a car

Pandemonium was the order of the day when the corpses of two children were found inside an abandoned car in Owerri, Imo State.

Their bodies were found after they had disappeared mysteriously, close to a beer parlour in Awaka community, Vanguard reports.

How they were found remains unclear but it was gathered that the parents of the children had declared them missing earlier.

A villager, who chose to remain anonymous said:

“When the tarpaulin used in covering the vehicle was removed, the bodies of the two children were found.”

The owner of the parked vehicle lives outside Nigeria. I do not even remember when the owner of the vehicle last visited home. As at the day the sad incident was discovered, the vehicle owner was not at home.”

Answering a question, the villager affirmed that the police had already stepped into the matter, adding that “in the usual police fashion, they would critically probe all leads with a view to getting to the roots of the matter.”

When the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Andrew Enwerem, a deputy superintendent of police, was contacted, he said:

“As at the time of your inquiry, no such information has reached my table. It may come later, but for now, I have not received any such signal.”
