Police investigate landlord’s decomposing body in Oyo
The decomposing body of a landlord was discovered in his bedroom in the Awotan, Apete neighbourhood of Ibadan, according to the Police Command in Oyo State. The State Criminal Inquiry Department (CID) is leading the investigation.

Recall that after a protracted search, several Awotan Community residents found the landlord's skeleton in his bedroom. The landlord was later identified as Aderemi Abiola.

The deceased's decomposing body was discovered attached to his upward-lying bedding.

The deceased was last seen four years ago, according to information gathered by news reporters from the locals.

Additionally, it was learned that the late Abiola used to periodically travel from Abuja to Ibadan and had no relationships with the locals.

In a statement, SP Adewale Osifeso, the police public relations officer for Oyo State, said that the state's police commissioner, Adebowale William, had sent a team of forensic and crime investigators to the deceased's residence.

In order to determine the reason of his death, Osifeso said that the Commissioner of Police also ordered the case to be transferred right away to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), the command's top investigative body.

In the interest of public health and safety, he claimed, the location of the occurrence had since been sealed off to allow the detective to conduct a thorough investigation targeted at determining the potential cause of the death.

Osifeso said that the command became aware of the incident when representatives from the Landlord Association of Idi-Orogbo, Adeosun, Life Forte Area, Awotan, Apete in Ibadan reported the case to the command.

He said that preliminary findings from residents of the community and the deceased driver’s licence found in his wallet revealed identity of the deceased as Aderemi Abiola.

The police spokesperson said that the investigation revealed that the deceased was last seen around 2018, four years ago, which was corroborated by his family members.

According to Osifeso, the Commissioner of Police called on well-meaning members of the public for assistance regarding the provision of useful information about the incident.

He said that case would be actively monitored, assuring the public that detailed updates would be provided accordingly.

It would be recalled that the people of Awotan community became aware of the incident while clearing the bushy compound of the deceased, after seeking permission from the police to break into the house to clear it.

It was the labourers employed to clear the compound who noticed that window of one of rooms was opened and they decided to peep into it, only to discover a totally decomposed body of the deceased.
