Wednesday, July 15, 2026 - Panic spread across the University00 of Jos (UNIJOS) community after the headless body of a middle-aged man was discovered on a farmland in the institution’s premises.
The body was found on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at the Permanent
site of the institution.
A 300-level student of the university, Pius Atok, confirmed
the discovery to Vanguard.
"The body was found this morning on a farm around the
university community. From what we gathered, the victim was neither a student
nor a member of staff of the university,” Mr Atok said.
A senior university official, who also spoke to the
publication off the record because they were not authorised to comment
publicly, said preliminary findings indicated that the deceased was a farmer
known in the area for regularly cultivating crops on the farmland.
“The victim is neither a student nor a staff member of the
university. He is known to people around the area because he usually comes
there to farm. We believe he came very early this morning, as he normally
does,” the official said.
“What actually happened is still unclear, but from the nature
of the attack, it appears those responsible came specifically to k!ll him and
made away with his head.”
The official added that the victim’s relatives had been
contacted and arrangements were underway to evacuate the body.
The source also said the university management was aware of
the incident and would issue an official statement through its Information
Directorate.
The Plateau State Police Command has to issue an official
statement on the incident
