Esther Adesiyan, one of five residents abducted from Chikakore community in Kubwa, Abuja, has been found dead in a bush near Itagbajii, Niger State.
Her body was discovered a few days after the abduction of her family and a neighbour working at a poultry farm.
Esther, her husband, their son, a family member, and the poultry worker were taken at gunpoint from their home in the early hours of Monday.
The wife of the poultry worker was injured and later treated at Kubwa General Hospital.
FCT Police spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh confirmed the abduction, stating that a rescue operation was underway.
The body of Esther was identified by a co-worker, who accompanied police to Niger State.
He reported that Esther appeared to have been shot by her captors after being unable to continue the arduous journey through the bush.
The FCT Police Command is yet to comment on the recovery.
