Thursday, January 9, 2025 - Operatives of Ogun State Police command have raised the alarm after a swollen body of 45-year-old Tolulope Olusanya, a tenant, was discovered at Madojutimi Abiola Way, Abeokuta on Monday night. January 7.
The landlord of the compound, Adebesin Adebayo, had visited the Kemta
police division to alert the police of the stench emanating from the swollen
body of Olusanya's apartment, Adebayo and other residents suspect he may have
committed su!cide.
Confirming the incident, the command's spokesperson, CSP Omolola
Odutola, said;
“Worried about her well-being, the landlord went to her apartment and
noticed a strong, unpleasant odour coming from inside. The door to her
apartment was locked inside, prompting him to raise the alarm.”
Upon receiving the report, Odutola said detectives from the Kemta
Division arrived at the scene and discovered that the apartment was still
locked, and the foul odour persisted through the window.
“The officers broke into the apartment and found Olusanya’s body lying
on the bed, swollen, suggesting that she had been deceased for some time,”
Odutola added.
She added that efforts to transport her body to the nearest hospital
were hindered by a lack of medical equipment to prevent potential infection.
Odutola further said attempts to collaborate with the local health
authority and contact Olusanya’s family were unsuccessful, saying, “no
immediate relatives could be reached.”
She, however, added that the scene was secured and cordoned off the area
as police detectives continued their investigation.
