JUST IN: Four Year-Old Dead Body Discovered Inside Bedroom In Ibadan

The remnants of a decomposed body of a man found in the bedroom of his house after four years has left residents of Apete in Ibadan, Oyo State in shock.

The deceased, whose identity remained unknown as at press time, was said to have been last seen by neighbours four years ago during one of his occasional trips to Ibadan from Port-Harcourt in Rivers State, where he resided at the time.

The cause of his death was yet to be ascertained, but residents in the area told our reporter that none of the residents in the area knew about the incident untill this week, when the community decided to enter into the compound to cut the overgrown grass inside his compound which had become a haven for snakes and rodents.

It was gathered that the Malams that cleared the bush in the compound of the deceased were told to jump through the fence into the compound since the gate of the house was locked from behind only for them to discover that the car of the house owner was in the premises and had been covered with grass.

According to eyewitnesses, after managing to cut down the bush, they peeped through the window of the building and saw the skeleton of the decomposed corpse on his bed with a phone in his hand.

Officers of the Oyo State Police Command were said to be currently carrying out a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
