The corpse of a yet-to-be-identified man was said to have been found in a car in the neighborhood of Isheri, Olowora Road, Ojodu Berger in Lagos.
The man who was found naked in a black Toyota car was not known to be a resident of the area.
No mark of violence was found on the man, as his 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.
A resident, who spoke with PUNCH Metro, 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.”
Policemen from the Isheri Divisional Headquarters visited the scene and evacuated the corpse while they also removed the car.
A police officer at the station who confirmed the incident said, “We are aware of the incident. We have taken the body to the General Hospital. You can contact the PPRO for more details,” the police officer said.
