However, due to heavy rainfall and poor visibility at night, no immediate signs of violence were detected on the body.

“A doctor’s assessment later revealed that the deceased had suffered bullet wounds from pellets, indicating he was shot at close range. The body has since been deposited at the hospital morgue for further forensic examination.
“In response to this disturbing incident, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, has ordered an intensive investigation to identify and apprehend the perpetrator(s). He has also assured the public that the Command will leave no stone unturned in bringing those responsible to justice.
