Missing Man Found In Bedroom

The Lagos State Police Command has
commenced investigations into the
mysterious death of a 39-year-old trader,
Sylvanus Okoye, who was discovered
without his penis in a pool of blood at his
house.

Newslinegossips Metro learnt that the indigene of
Abidi, Umu Ochi, Anambra State, was found
dead two weeks after he was last seen by
neighbours.
His corpse was said to have been
discovered after a foul odour engulfed the
premises of the house, located at
Ezemegbu Drive, Okota.
It was learnt that on Thursday, neighbours
forced the door to his apartment open and
the corpse was discovered.
The victim's brother, Paul, also a trader,
said neighbours called to inform him that
his brother had not been seen for some
days.

He said, "I was called by the landlord that
they have not seen my brother for some
time. They said a stranger dropped his
phone and house key with the security
guard.
"When I got here, we opened the door to
his flat. We saw his bloated body, with a
rope tied on his neck. There was a mortar,
pestle and a knife on the bed. Obviously he
was murdered.

"We are confused now; we have reported
the matter at Okota Police Station. They
have collected the knife and pestle. What I
am craving now is justice. Police should
investigate this matter and prosecute all
involved.

"We were told that the security guard at
their house was not around on that fateful
day, so a certain man dropped the key to
my brother's house and his telephone with
a female trader in front of the house. The
guard told us that he knew the person who
dropped the key."

Newslinegossips Metro learnt that the guard and the
trader had been arrested by the police.

The spokesperson for the state police
command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the
incident to our correspondent on the
telephone.

She said, "On Thursday morning, the
landlord of the building, Amaechi Nwosu,
reported at the Okota Police Division that
his tenant, who was a bachelor, was found
dead in his flat. Policemen went to the
scene and noticed that he was killed in a
mysterious manner as his penis had been
cut off.

"Before the corpse was discovered, there
had been attempts by the neighbours to
force the door open. It was at that point
that the security guard opened up that the
key was with him. He said someone had
given the key and the man's telephone to a
trader and the trader handed it over to
him.
"The security guard and the trader have
been arrested and are being questioned as
they never bothered to inform anybody
that they were with the key prior to now."
