Police in Delta State have identified the body of a young woman found along DLA Road in Asaba last week.
The victim has been named as 23-year-old Miss Precious Yusuf, according to a statement by the state police spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe.
A preliminary investigation revealed that on 22 October 2024, Yusuf had informed a friend she was going to meet a man she had met on a dating website in the Coka area.
The following day, she called the same friend to say she was on her way home, but was not heard from again.
