A driver, identified as Mr. Isaac Ugwu Anayo, has been found dead inside his vehicle along the Abuja-Lokoja highway in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The unfortunate discovery was made near a police checkpoint in the Abaji area.

According to witnesses, Mr. Anayo had parked his Volkswagen Pickup van with registration number ARP 192XA by the roadside.
