The mutilated lifeless body of a female journalist, A'isha Usman, was discovered at the Kwangila Flyover in Zaria, Kaduna state on September 11, 2013, Wednesday.
According to a police source of Daily Trust, the officials of the Kwangila Motor Park invited policemen to the scene.
"When we dispatched our men to the scene they found an Identity Card of the deceased, which showed that she worked with a Hausa Magazine, Mahangar Arewa," a source said.
The body of the deceased journalist were deposited at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika, Zaria.
The State Police confirmed commencing a thorough investigation to unravel those behind her death.
An eyewitness revealed that the killers of the journalist clubbed her to death.
"Nobody can tell who the killers are but it appeared that they were hoodlums who attempted to rob her, or, perhaps, for other reasons. We have discovered that her body was mutilated when we came out for work this (yesterday) morning, and that forced one of her eyes to come out and one of her legs was fractured," Shehu Danladi, an eyewitness, said.
A publisher of the Mahangar Arewa Magazine, Aliyu M. Aliyu, said the police had called from Zaria to tell him that one of his staff had an accident and her remains were deposited at the ABUTH.
"She called her brother yesterday (Tuesday) night and asked him to pray for her, as they had left Abuja for Kaduna. It is unfortunate that the innocent lady lost her life in a mysterious manner," the publisher said.
