A gospel musician has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command in connection with the death of four persons inside a music studio in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
The incident occurred at a studio located within the HFP Shopping Complex, Abraham Adesanya area of Ajah.
Three of the deceased were reportedly members of the musician’s band, while the fourth was a blogger engaged to publicise a three-day birthday musical concert scheduled to hold at the studio.
The deceased have been identified as Mathew Ogundele, Itunu Ogundele, Joseph Sanya, and Mathew Awosanya.
Police sources confirmed that the four individuals slept overnight at the studio and were discovered dead the following morning.
A source at the Ajah Police Division told the Nigerian Tribune that the incident was reported by the husband of the studio owner, who disclosed that food was purchased for the deceased persons on the night before they were found dead.
Another police source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the studio door was locked from the inside when the individuals were checked on the next morning.
“It was when they got there the following morning that they discovered the studio door was locked from inside. The door was forced open, and the four persons were found lying motionless,” the source said.
The victims were rushed to the Mainland General Hospital, where they were confirmed dead. Their bodies were subsequently deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for autopsy.
Detectives were mobilised to the scene, where photographs were taken as part of preliminary investigations.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, said the case was initially reported at the Ajah Division before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
“One suspect, identified as the organiser of the event, is currently in custody. Investigation is ongoing, while we await the autopsy report,” she said.
Police said further details would be made public as investigations progress.
