A female staff member of the High Court, identified as Princess Ochigo, has been found dead by the roadside in Abuja, raising fresh concerns over security in the Federal Capital Territory.
The deceased was identified through an identity card recovered from her body. She was reportedly discovered lying motionless by the roadside under circumstances that remain unclear.
Sources said there were no immediate signs of a road accident on her body, fuelling speculation of possible foul play. The incident comes days after the body of an Igbo nurse was similarly found abandoned in the FCT.

Patients in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have lamented limited services at several general hospitals in Abuja, citing closed pharmacies, absent laboratory staff, and inadequate medical personnel, largely blamed on acute manpower shortages.
At Kubwa General Hospital, a patient, Rotimi Raheem, said pharmacies were locked and laboratory services unavailable, leaving patients unable to access drugs or conduct basic tests.
Similar complaints were reported at Wuse General Hospital, where Ibeto Onakwe said emergency units were poorly staffed, with few doctors attending to patients needing urgent care.
At Nyanya General Hospital, Idris Yahuri said patients could not access their medical records due to the absence of administrative officers.
Reacting, the President of the Association of Resident Doctors at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital (UATH), Adewale-Adeleye Premiere, attributed the situation to severe understaffing worsened by the mass exit of health workers from the country.
He said the number of resident doctors at UATH had dropped from about 500–600 to roughly 220, warning that without urgent government intervention, healthcare delivery in the FCT could deteriorate further.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by Engr. Sunday (Sunny) Oche against Michael Unogwu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In its ruling on Thursday, the court held that the suit failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action and did not meet the legal requirements to proceed, leading to its dismissal.
The decision effectively ends Oche’s legal challenge, as the reliefs sought in the suit will no longer be considered by the court, except if he chooses to appeal.
The judgment leaves Unogwu and the APC unaffected by the claims, with observers awaiting reactions from the parties on the political implications of the ruling.
