Update on Missing Girls in Aba: Decomposing Body Found With Body Parts Missing

A decomposing body, suspected to belong to one of the two missing girls, Celine Ndudim and Afiba Tandoh, who went missing after visiting a British-Nigerian man, Andrew Amaechi Ochekwo (Now late) in Aba has been found.

Narrating how the body was found in a video posted on Instagram, activist Harrison Gwamnishu said the body was found in a deserted area in Aba. According Gwamnishu, locals said the body was dumped there almost a month ago. The girls had gone missing since April, 2024.

Gwamnishu also mentioned that the body had no head, no hands, no legs and had decomposed. It found wrapped in a curtain similar to the ones found at Andrew Amaechi Ochekwo’s house.

In parts of the video, Andrew showed the curtains in Ochekwo’s house to prove they were similar to that used in wrapping the decomposing body.

While it is not scientifically proven that the decomposing body belongs to one of the girls, the girls remain missing.

In April, two female friends, Celine Ndudim and Afiba Tandoh ( a Ghanaian national), had visited a wealthy British-Nigerian man, Andrew Amaechi Ochekwo in Aba, Abia state from their base in Port Harcourt, Rivers state for what seemed like a transactional sex deal but were declared missing afterwards.

A debit alert on Celine’s Ipad days later, which she left at home before embarking on the trip, alerted her family to her ordeal.

The news quickly trended on the Nigerian social media space and Ochekwo was subsequently arrested. He was later reportedly shot and killed in a controversial manner in Benue state, North-central Nigeria, while being transferred, in company of the Nigeria police, from Abia to Abuja.

Events surrounding Ochekwo’s death are still sketchy and raise deep suspicions amongst netizens.
