The decaying body of a 54-year-old woman, Mrs Philomena Ogadi, who was kidnapped, has been found buried in a shallow grave.
The corpse was buried on a farmland near the Benin-Agbor-Onitsha Expressway in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State by her abductors.
According to the Delta State Police Command, the corpse was exhumed by the police on Saturday, four days after her burial by her abductors despite collecting ransom of over N650,000 from her family.
The woman was said to have been abducted last week by a nine-man gang of kidnappers.
