Female lawyer killed, dumped on Abuja road

The body of an Abuja-based female lawyer has been discovered along the Kubwa Expressway.

Abuja Metro reports that Nurse Chinemerem Chuwumeziem, a staff member of FMC Jabi, finished her afternoon shift on January 3, 2026, and boarded a vehicle on her way home, but never arrived. Her lifeless body was later found dumped by the roadside.

While details of the circumstances leading to her death are still being awaited, the body of the lawyer, Princess Chigbo Mediatrix, believed to be a former Treasurer of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Abuja Branch, was discovered by the roadside along the Kubwa Expressway. 

There are strong insinuations that she, too, might have fallen victim to “one-chance” hoodlums.

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter), the deceased was found at a separate location with documents suggesting she might have been a staff member of the FCT High Court. 

Abuja Metro could not independently verify her employment status at the court, as some staff members reached for comment said they were unaware of the incident.

The social media update included an image of the deceased and her identification card. It noted that her bag was discovered flung a short distance from her body—a pattern consistent with “one-chance” attacks where victims are robbed, assaulted, and thrown from moving vehicles.
