The corpse of a yet-to-be-identified man was found in a car around Isheri, Olowora Road, Ojodu Berger in Lagos on Thursday
Residents and passers-by were taunted when they found the corpse of the man naked in the car but the man was not known in the neighbourhood.
An eyewitness, told PUNCH Metro on the condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, that the man was found naked in a black Toyota car.
As of the time of the discovery, his corpse was said to be lying across the front seats of the car with his head on the driver’s seat and leg stretched across the passenger’s seat.
It was also gathered that no mark of violence was found on the man.
The resident said, “We woke up to see his body lying naked in the car. There was no sign of violence on his body.
“No one can say what was responsible for his death. The best people can do is to speculate.
“He was found lying across his car’s front seat with his head on the driver’s seat while his leg is on the passenger’s seat. One of the hawkers in the area said he was a regular face in the area. The man was completely naked. His shirt and trousers were found on the floor of the car.”
PUNCH Metro gathered that policemen from the Isheri Divisional Headquarters visited the scene and evacuated the corpse while they also removed the car.
When our correspondent visited the police station, it was learnt that the corpse had been deposited at the morgue of a general hospital in the area.
A police officer at the station urged our correspondent to contact the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ben Hundeyin, for further information.
“We are aware of the incident. We have taken the body to the General Hospital. You can contact the PPRO for more details,” the police officer said.
However, several calls made to Hundeyin’s mobile phone rang out on Thursday.
