A man who was declared missing after going hiking with a group in Nasarawa has been found dead, Igbere TV reports.

Friends and family members took to Twitter early on Sunday, Jan 24, asking for help in finding a man named Stephen Tikya.

They explained that he went on a hiking trip with a group to Farin Ruwa Waterfall in Nasarawa state on Saturday, Jan 23, and didn't return home.

Unfortunately, a friend returned to Twitter hours later with horrible news.

"It’s so unfortunate His body has been found. Thank you so much guys," a friend who had announced him missing wrote.

And none of his friends didn't notice his disappearance ? Hummmm..

Those his "Friends" are not saying the whole truth.. they should be investigated.

I SWEAR

Did the Tweep mention that his friends said anything? Why are you already concluding that they're not saying the truth ?

Oga is it not his friends that he went hiking with that will First raise alarm about his missing body?, Or is it Spirit that'll raise alarm about his missing body?

Something is hidden, they should arrest all his friends that went out together. Trust nobody

Such a fine guy ....

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad......
Dey go hiking for this kind country...
Way person security nor dey guarantee

May we not follow friends that will lead us to our early graves.
R.I.P bro

Something is fishy

Hiking especially in Abuja is no longer what it used to be. It is now a group of young boys and girls who go out to seek fun and make new relationships. They seldom follow guidelines for professional hiking rather, they concentrate on their body-hugging and revealing clothes. It has been mesmerized by a generation that knows nothing about the sport.

Oh Stephen, may your soul rest in peace. May you find rest in the bosom of Abraham, and God comforts your family.

Fear north!... killing is becoming a normal lifestyle over there.
Bandits and Herds should try us here in South South, we will show them.

fine boy like this
I wondered why any person that got missing mysterious always end up dead somewhere
Lord have mercy

Very possible he got lost, and as a result, died from starvation most likely.

Always be careful when hiking. Especially in isolated areas.

There is a useful acronym for what to do when you’re lost: STOP.

S is to simply stop. Frantically moving faster will only get you more lost. Sit, and breathe from your belly (short quick breaths only increase the symptoms of anxiety – lightheadedness, trembling, confusion). Drink and eat. With any luck, your amygdala (the almond-size flight-or-fight controller in your head) will calm down and your cerebral cortex (responsible for rational thinking) will take over again.

T stands for think. Ask yourself some basic questions. Which direction were you going? What was the last landmark you recognized? How long ago was that? How far have you come since? Hiking on a trail with a pack, most people travel only about two miles per hour. Where was the last time you knew where you were?

O is for observe. Look around you: can you see any landmarks? Can you recognize a craggy mountain top or arcing valley? Try to find what you see around you on the map. Get out your camera, go back through the pictures and do the same thing. Think about time. How long have you been hiking? How do you feel? How long before sunset? What is the weather doing? What is the weather predicted to do? Is there natural shelter nearby? Is there dry fuel for a fire?

P means plan. Don’t move until you have a plan. (If and when you do move, do so methodically and observantly.) If you whistle, might someone hear you? Do you have enough daylight to try to retrace your route? Should you consider building a fire because it is almost dark?

And finally – can you make a call? Can you text? If you do get through, can you tell anyone where you are?(SAUCE)

Why do you sound scared on behalf of them? You must be part of the friends, talk true

Sad

They should arrest or they should investigate. This crude mentality in this part of the world is something else

(Heart) Breaking news.

This Nigeria is becoming something else

Got lost in a group? Didn't they notice he was missing and raise alarm? Someone knows what happened to him.

Fulani headers at it again

Why risk your life hiking in Buharis Nigeria ...Nassaraw Bushes are now filled with many Boko Haram groups

Please let's get the facts o. He went with a group, he wasn't missing , he drowned at a water fall all efforts to saved him by fellow members of the group proved abortive as the current was so strong and he was carried away. Professional divers where the ones who retrieved his body the following day. Also this particular group this is the first time such incident is happening because before every hike scouts go to scout the place and seek out safe areas and areas to avoid. This was just an unfortunate incident.
