Friends and family members are mourning a makeup artiste identified as Ijeoma Neke who was found dead, days after she was declared missing.
The deceased with the Instagram handle @wake_n_makeup, was last seen on Wednesday, November 11, 2020, after she left home for a job.
Reports gathered that she requested to know the venue where she was to do the job but was simply instructed to meet the prospective client at a bus stop.
Ijeoma Neke was allegedly booked for a make-up session with a yet-to-be identified client on the day she went missing.
One of her friends said a customer called Ijeoma for a job on Wednesday and told her to come to ESBS bus stop so she would be taken to the place.
It was gathered that Ijeoma could not be reached after some hours, fuelling speculations that she might have been kidnapped. Her friends and relatives formed a search party but their efforts were futile until yesterday morning when her body was found at Maryland, a suburb of Enugu.
Eyewitnesses said the body appeared to have been bathed in a substance suspected to be acid, leading to its mutilation.
Police spokesman Daniel Ndukwe said his office had not received reports of the kidnap or discovery of the body as at last night.
