Tenant’s decomposing corpse found in Lagos apartment

The decomposing body of a tenant, simply identified as Nike has been recovered by the police at the Oke-Odo area of Lagos State.

It was gathered that Nike, was found dead in her apartment last Friday by her neighbour, Bolaji Kolade after he observed that he did not see her for two days and decided to knock on her door.

According to PUNCH, a source in the community said “Upon checking her door, he discovered that it was locked from inside. The neighbour also noticed that flies had perched around the window and there was foul smell emanating from the room.”

Kolade was said to have called the attention of other neighbours and a complaint was lodged at the Oke-Odo division.

“A police team visited the scene and upon arrival, the door was forcefully opened. The decomposing body of the said Nike was found lying on the bed,” a police source added that “no mark of violence was observed on the body.”
