Decomposing Body Of Man Recover In Lagos Bush

A decomposing body of a man has been recovered in a bush in Lagos State.

EKOHOTBLOG reports that the officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health have recovered the decomposing corpse of a yet-to-be-identified man from a bush in Lagos State.

It was gathered that the decomposing corpse of the man was recovered at Odogunyan in the Ikorodu area of the state.

It was further learnt that the corpse was discovered when residents of the Oguntade Oloja community in Odogunyan started perceiving a stench emanating from the bamboo bush in the area.

The residents, in a bid to ascertain the cause of the odour, were said to have combed the bush and saw the lifeless body of the man on the ground.

A source disclosed that the Chairman of the Oguntade Oloja Community Development Association, Gbolahan Kolawole, later reported the incident to the police, saying, “It was the community members, led by the CDA Chairman, that reported to the police that a decomposing corpse was found in the bush on August 14, 2021.

“But the police could not remove the corpse because of health reasons. So, the police alerted the health workers from the Lagos State Ministry of Health and their officials visited the community to remove the body.

“Since the corpse was already decomposing, it means it has been a while since it was there and there has been no means of identification or address to locate the family members of the deceased person. We suspect that the man was killed and his corpse dumped in the bush,” the source said.

As gathered by EKOHOTBLOG, the incident was confirmed by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, saying, “The state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has directed a discreet investigation to be carried out in respect of the case.
