Horror at Nigeria’s National Assembly: Decomposed Body of Tiv Worker Found in Parked Car

Shock grips Abuja as 55-year-old construction worker, Gaddafi Iwar, discovered dead in red Peugeot near National Assembly annex; community rushes burial to prevent health risks.

Shock and panic swept through the National Assembly complex in Abuja on Sunday after the decomposed body of a 55-year-old man was discovered inside a parked vehicle near the annex gate.

The deceased, identified as Gaddafi Iwar, a Tiv construction worker, was found slumped in a red Peugeot 406 with registration number BWR-577 BF at around 9:00 a.m., already in an advanced state of decomposition.

Security personnel and medical workers responded immediately, moving the corpse first to the National Assembly Clinic and then to Asokoro General Hospital. However, doctors reportedly declined to admit the remains due to the severity of the decay.

In a dramatic turn, Tiv community leaders and youths transported the body to Gbawu Village on the AMAC–Kuje border, where it was hastily buried to prevent a potential public health crisis.
