A man identified as Fatai Hamzat has reportedly been found dead in his apartment on Oremeji Street, Ijeun Tuntun, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The Ogun State Police Command informed reporters on Saturday that Hamzat’s body was discovered around 7 am on Friday.
“I had just returned from church when I noticed Azeez’s motorcycle parked in the compound. I went to check on him, but his door was locked from the inside,” his neighbour reportedly told the police.
After numerous knocks without a response from Hamzat, our journalist discovered that neighbours, including one Ogunsola, forced open a window.
Inside the flat, they allegedly discovered Hamzat’s body hanging from a rope attached to a ceiling fan.
Omolola Odutola, a spokesperson for the state police command, said that the body had been transported to a local hospital mortuary for autopsy.
“The deceased was found hanging in his apartment after several attempts to reach him failed. An investigation into the incident is ongoing,” Odutola said on Saturday.
