A man identified as Fatai Hamzat has been found dead in his apartment on Oremeji Street, Ijeun Tuntun, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
According to the Ogun State Police Command informed, Hamzat’s body was discovered around 7am 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,” one neighbour reportedly told the police.
After repeated knocking with no response from Hamzat, our correspondent learnt that neighbours, including one Ogunsola, forced open a window.
Inside the apartment, they allegedly found Hamzat’s body hanging from a rope tied to the ceiling fan.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed that the body was taken to a nearby hospital morgue for an 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.
