Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The body of a missing man, Okoro Emmanuel, also known as \u201cBig Tanker,\u201d has been discovered along the DSC Expressway near Otokutu Junction in Delta State.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s body was found in pieces, suggesting he may have been knocked down by a hit-and-run vehicle.<\/p>\n

A family friend of the deceased, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that they had passed the same road several times since Emmanuel went missing two days ago.<\/p>\n

The source emphasised that, despite passing the location multiple times, they had not seen his body until now.<\/p>\n

He expressed shock over how the body suddenly appeared on the same road.<\/p>\n

Delta State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, is yet to confirm the report.<\/p>\n
