The remains of a missing child, Rosemary Chinyere Nnachi, have been discovered floating in a river in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
Nnachi was declared missing on Saturday after attending an end of the year event with her parents at a club in Nnoro Community in the area.
Her parents are said to be members of the club.
“She disappeared suddenly. Nobody knew where she went to and they started looking for her,” a family source said.
Efforts to find her were unsuccessful despite raising of a search party. Pictures of her were also circulated on social media.
Her body was found 48 hours later floating in a stream far from the event venue.
Ekigbo Nnamdi, who posted Rosemary’s picture on her Facebook page, said:
“The missing child was found dead. The world we live in is evil. Thanks to those who showed concern.”
Police spokesman Loveth Odah said the matter had not been reported.
