The police in Benue State at the weekend confirmed the discovery of corpses of three family members in their room situated in North-Bank area of Makurdi, the state capital.
Catherine Anene, spokesperson of Benue State police command, who confirmed the incident, said investigations were ongoing to unravel the cause of death.
Anene also disclosed that a little girl was found in the room where the dead bodies were discovered unhurt but too small to give useful information.
She said that the cause of death was still unknown but that all dead bodies had no physical injuries to warrant an immediate determination of cause of death.
She appealed to members of the public with useful information on the strange occurrence to report to the nearest security agencies for necessary action.
“The incident was reported on Friday and when our got to the scene, they discovered three dead bodies: a man, his wife and son all dead,” she said.
Some of the neighbours described the deceased family members as peaceful and wondered what could have happened.
