Residents of Adeosun/Idi Orogbo Community in Oyo State's Ido Local Government Area discovered the skeletal remains of a landlord named John Aderemi Abiola in his bedroom nearly four years after he was last seen.
The shocking discovery was made on Sunday, September 4, after the community decided to go into his compound, with the approval of the police authorities, to clear the bush that had overgrown his fence into the next house, causing reptile invasion.
According to report, the man was last seen in December 2018, a year after moving into the compound.
It was gathered that the labourers, who were contracted to cut the grasses in the compound, were told to scale into the compound since the gate of the house was locked from behind.
It was at this point that they found out that the car of the house owner, a Volkswagen Golf with registration number AKD 769 DC, was in the premises and has been covered with grass.
After managing to cut down the bush, the labourers and other residents, peeped through the window of the building and saw the skeleton of the decomposed corpse in his bed with a phone in his hand.
One of the landlords in the area, Mr Mohammed Ademola, who is familiar with the deceased, spoke on the development.
Ademola said that he was shocked when he saw the skeleton on the bed.
Drugs used in the treatment of high blood pressure were said to have been found in the apartment.
When contacted, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso confirmed the discovery
investigation is still ongoing as of the time of this report.
