Residents of Adeosun/Idi Orogbo Community in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State are in shock over the discovery on Sunday, the decomposed body of a man identified as John Aderemi Abiola, in the bedroom of his house.
Abiola was last seen in 2018 during one of his occasional trips to Ibadan from Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State where he resided at the time.
The cause of death is yet to be ascertained but residents told newsmen that no one in the area knew about the incident until this week when they decided to enter into the compound to cut the overgrown grass which has become a haven for snakes and rodents.
It was gathered that the Labourers who were contracted for the job were told to jump into the compound since the gate of the house was locked from behind but they found out that the car of the house owner was in the premises and had been overgrown by grass.
According to Eyewitnesses, after managing to cut down the bushy compound, they peeped at the window of the building and saw the skeleton of the decomposed corpse on his bed with a phone in his hand.
Officers of the Oyo state police command are currently carrying out a comprehensive investigation into the incident as at the time of filing this report.
