Panic spread across the University of Jos (UNIJOS) community on Tuesday after the headless body of a middle-aged man was discovered on a farmland in the institution’s premises.
A 300-level student of the university, Pius Atok, told Vanguard newspaper of the discovery.
“The body was found this morning on a farm around the university community. From what we gathered, the victim was neither a student nor a member of staff of the university,” Mr Atok said.
A senior university official, who also spoke to Vanguard off the record because they were not authorised to comment publicly, said preliminary findings indicated that the deceased was a farmer known in the area for regularly cultivating crops on the farmland.
“The victim is neither a student nor a staff member of the university. He is known to people around the area because he usually comes there to farm. We believe he came very early this morning, as he normally does.
