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. 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.”
The
guard and the trader had been arrested by the police. The spokesperson
for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident.
