Passers-by and residents around Isheri, Olowora Road, Ojodu Berger area in Lagos woke up on Thursday to behold a strange scene in that neighbourhood.
The corpse of a yet-to-be-identified man was said to have been found in a car in the neighbourhood.
One eyewitness, who spoke with Punch on the condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, said the man was found naked in a black Toyota car and that he was not known to be a resident of the area.
At the time of the discovery, the man’s corpse was said to be lying across the front seats of the car with his head on the driver’s seat and leg stretched across the passenger’s seat.
Another resident, who spoke with Punch however, said although the deceased was not a resident, some hawkers said he was a known face in the area.
The resident said: “We woke up to see his body lying naked in the car. There was no sign of violence on his body.
“No one can say what was responsible for his death. The best people can do is to speculate.
“He was found lying across his car’s front seat with his head on the driver’s seat while his leg is on the passenger’s seat. One of the hawkers in the area said he was a regular face in the area. The man was completely naked. His shirt and trousers were found on the floor of the car.”
It was gathered that police operatives from the Isheri Divisional Headquarters visited the scene and evacuated the corpse as well as removing the car.
