Panic ensued on Saturday at the construction site of the “Light of the Nation” tower in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, when workers discovered a fresh female corpse.

The tower, located near the Ekwulobia bridge, is being built to bear the phrase “Light of the Nation,” Anambra State’s emblem, as part of an initiative to enhance the area’s aesthetic appeal.

While the cause of death and the burial’s timing remain unclear, sources indicated that the body was uncovered by workers during their operations.

The construction of the Ekwulobia bridge and road dualisation is part of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision to develop a smart mega city in Anambra.
