Few days after, news broke that the child was found dead inside a manhole adjacent to Mr Biggs in the Jabi area in Abuja with some of his body parts removed.
An eyewitness, Joel Joseph, while narrating the discovery of the deceased to Daily Trust said they (he and the child’s grandmother) saw the corpse already rotten inside the manhole.
“When we saw his body inside the manhole, his grandmother attempted to jump inside but I took hold of her and pushed her away. I jumped inside the pit where I found the body already rotten. His tongue, anus and genitals were chopped off while his eyes were plucked out,” Joseph said.
“It’s apparent that his killers are rituals and they might have dumped him inside the pit in the night.’’
The victim’s mother described Ishaya, as “smart” and a nursery one pupil who was the only child of the family.
She said, “On that fateful Friday, Eleazar was about to be bathed. He took a N10 note to buy sweets from a neighbourhood shop and went missing since then.
“I am not disturbed by his death, but rather how horribly he was tortured. I rest my case to God. I don’t know the perpetrators because I am not a spiritual-eyed being. The boy’s blood can infiltrate his heartless killer(s) because he is innocent. They should consider themselves dead already.
“I could not muster the courage to see his defaced body. It was later that I managed to see his body in pictures.’’
