Police Question Husband Of NYSC Member Found Dead In Abuja

Edward Terungwa, the husband of late member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Stephanie Terungwa, is being questioned by Police in the Federal Capital Territory over her death.

Terungwa was found dead last week after she was last seen on April 14 at Lokogoma area of Abuja.

According to her uncle, Richard Iorliam, Terungwa and her one-year-old son were abducted after she attended the weekly NYSC community development service exercise. He said the baby was later found. The NYSC confirmed that Terungwa was found dead and defaced.

The Guardian, however, gathered that homicide detectives at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have started probing Terungwa’s husband and two others who last spoke with her.

“Police arrested the husband yesterday night (Saturday) and two others, who last called her number. It does not mean they are guilty. The suspects are with the homicide section of FCT Police Command. Their arrest would aid investigation by detectives,” the source was quoted as saying.

Terungwa, a native of Benue State, studied microbiology at JS Tarka University, Benue.
