The Nigeria Police Force has launched a full investigation after a body was discovered in a parked car at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
Security operatives reportedly found the lifeless body during a routine patrol around the premises. The discovery immediately triggered concern, given the sensitive nature of the location, which houses the country’s federal lawmakers.
Police authorities have not yet released the identity of the deceased, pending formal identification and notification of family members. However, they assured the public and staff of the National Assembly that security within the complex remains intact and that the incident will be thoroughly investigated.
The case has raised questions among Nigerians about how a body could remain unnoticed in such a highly secured environment. Analysts suggest that beyond the investigation into the death itself, this situation may prompt a broader review of security checks and surveillance at the Assembly.
In simple terms, what should have been just another working day for lawmakers and staff turned into a security and safety scare. Nigerians now look to the police for answers — not just about the cause of death, but also about how to prevent such incidents in one of the nation’s most protected spaces.
