Former Delta Rep Joan Mrakpor, her two orderlies found dead after abduction
Joan Mrakpor, a former member of the Delta State House of Representatives, was found dead along with two of her police orderlies following a kidnapping incident as earlier reported by News360 Nigeria.
A source with knowledge of the development who asked not to be identified said her remains were found with heavy bruises, suggesting she was brutalised and tortured before her death. “She was found dead and fully stripped with severe wounds around 7.30 pm Thursday. I think she was battered to death,” the source told News360 Nigeria.
The politician was kidnapped two days ago in Asaba, the Delta State capital by the gunmen.
Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the abduction and deaths, pledging to bring those responsible to justice.
