The decaying corpse of a lady. |
A man is now being investigated at the Ogun State
Police Command, Southwest Nigeria, following his arrested last week for keeping
a decaying corpse in his apartment.
According to reports, residents of Peace Land Estate
in Akute, Ogun State, where the suspect, (known as a pastor in the
neighbourhood) resides were thrown into a state of confusion when the skeleton
of what looks like the body of a young woman was discovered in an apartment.
Eyewitnesses said that the shocking discovery was made
when the owner of the property attempted to forcefully evict the tenant, a “pastor”,
from the apartment over unpaid rents.
Narrating the ordeal, an eyewitness was quoted as
saying, “The pastor did not pay his rent for a year. The landlady, who was
angry with the situation of things, decided to storm the apartment in company
of some people in order to evict him, but was shocked when they discovered a
human skeleton in the apartment.”
Other residents in the neighbourhood were attracted to
the scene while the matter was quickly reported to the police.
Meanwhile, the suspect, who is said to run a local
church in the vicinity, was alleged to have made some revelations about the
skeleton, and was quoted as saying it was that of one of his sister.

The Akute apartment. |
According to him, his parents had just three children
– himself and two sisters, who both lived with him in the apartment.
He was alleged to have confessed further that one of
the sisters named Funmi, had not been seen for a while. And whenever he was asked
about her whereabouts, his response as always, “She has gone to the mountain to
pray,” a source disclosed.
Further confession revealed that the deceased actually
died since 2010 and her body was abandoned in the apartment afterward.
Eyewitnesses say from the position of the skeleton, it
appeared that the deceased was kneeling at the time she died.
What is however curious is how the corpse could have
remained in the apartment for that long period of time without the stench disturbing
the neighbourhood.
At the time of filing this report, investigations are
underway to unravel the mystery behind the presence of the skeleton in the
Akute apartment.
