Troops of Operation Enduring Peace have confirmed the discovery of the body of a man believed to have been killed by unknown assailants in Plateau State.
According to security sources, personnel from Sector 6 of Operation Enduring Peace responded to reports on Thursday, June 11, and proceeded to the outskirts of Torok Community for verification.
The deceased was identified as Mr. Toma Chuwang, a resident of Torok village. Preliminary findings indicated that he may have been attacked while returning from a mining site in the area.
Security sources said the body bore multiple machete wounds and showed signs of decomposition, suggesting that the incident may have occurred several days before the discovery.
“Upon arrival at the location, troops confirmed the corpse of Mr. Toma Chuwang with machete cuts on the body. The condition of the corpse indicates that it had already started decomposing,” a security source stated.
The remains were evacuated from the scene, while security agencies launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the killing and identify those responsible.
Authorities said efforts are ongoing to gather further information that could assist in uncovering the perpetrators and ensuring they are brought to justice.
