A Man simply identified as
Tunde has been found dead and Dangling from a rope in an uncompleted building
at Rasaki Sodande Street in the Aboru,
Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos State on Monday.
Punch reports that, identified
only as Tunde, was believed to have been murdered in the early hours of Sunday.
Residents told PUNCH Metro
that Tunde, who wore a blue T-shirt when he was found, was killed before he was brought to the building.
The matter was said to have
been reported at the Oke Odo Police Division.
A police source told our
correspondent that marks of violence were found on the body of the deceased.
He said, “We received the
report in the early hours of Sunday. The victim was brought from another place
to the uncompleted building. He was strangled before he was thereafter hanged
with a rope to give the impression that the deceased committed suicide.
“There were marks of violence
on his body, which made the police believe that the case was a murder case and
not suicide. Policemen were at the scene, took photographs and removed the
body. We are looking for his family members.”
A resident, who gave his name
only as Usman, however, said some people believed that Tunde committed suicide.
He said, “The man did not live
on this street, but some people know him. They said he had been having some
family issues because of lack of money.
“The death is believed to have
come from frustration and lack. But the police should do their job thoroughly
and unravel the cause of his death.”
