Delta Police uncover body of site Engineer allegedly killed by workers
The Delta State Police Command has discovered the body of Chigozie Udalor, a site engineer who was allegedly murdered and buried in a shallow grave by his employees.
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 3, 2025, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the grim discovery.
Udalor, who was supervising his cousin’s construction project, had hired four workers from Benue State. However, on December 10, 2024, the workers allegedly conspired against him, attacked him with a hammer, and fatally struck him on the head. In an attempt to conceal the crime, the suspects reportedly buried his body at the construction site.
According to the police statement, “A sad story of a 38-year-old man who was employed by his cousin as a site engineer. The site engineer, Chigozie Udalor, employed four boys, all from Benue State.
“On December 10, 2024, they conspired and murdered him at the site using a hammer to hit his head and buried him in a shallow grave there at the site. Man’s inhumanity to man.
“His body was exhumed yesterday, April 2, 2025, after arresting two of the suspects.”
Investigations are ongoing as police work to apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the crime.
