The Delta State Police Command has uncovered the body of 38-year-old Chigozie Udalor, a site engineer, killed and buried in a shallow grave allegedly by his employees.
This was made known in a video statement shared by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on Thursday.
Udalor, who was employed by his cousin to oversee a construction project, had hired four young men from Benue State.
On December 10, 2024, the workers reportedly conspired, attacking Udalor with a hammer and striking his head.
The suspects then buried his body at the construction site in a desperate attempt to cover up the crime.
“On 10th December 2024, they conspired and murdered him at the site using a hammer to hit his head and buried him in a shallow grave there at the site. Man’s inhumanity to man.
“His body was exhumed yesterday 2nd April 2025 after arresting two of the suspects.”
