Days after raising the alarm over his missing children, Zannah Jaridama, a resident of Maiduguri, Borno State, on Thursday morning, found the lifeless bodies of his two children and that of his neighbour in his car boot.

Confirming the death of the children, the Borno State Commissioner of Police, Nazir Abdulmajid, on Thursday, said the lifeless bodies were found in the boot of one of his old cars locked in the compound.

Abdulmajid stated that police operatives from the command were deployed to the scene and photographs were taken.

He said that the bodies had been taken to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital for autopsy to determine if they were kidnapped and killed, or they entered the boot and locked themselves up, leading to their death. Punch
