The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the discovery of the decomposing body of Azamba Midowosso Joseph, a Togolese citizen, in his apartment at Silver Estate, Idimu, Lagos.
Sources disclosed that the incident occurred on Oct. 22 after Gabriel Folunsho Ogunrotimi noticed a foul odour emanating from the residence of the deceased at No. 11, Michael Adeboye Street.
.According to sources, Ogunrotimi, the building’s landlord, traced the odour to the tenant’s apartment and, upon peering through the window, discovered Joseph’s lifeless body lying on the bed.
A team of detectives from the Idimu Division Police Station examined the scene, took photographs, and forcibly entered the apartment, where the decomposed body was discovered.
The remains of the deceased were removed and taken to the Mainland General Hospital Morgue in Yaba for an autopsy to establish the cause of death.
Authorities report that initial findings show no immediate indication of foul play, but investigations are continuing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the Togolese national’s death.
