Residents of Jaleyemi area in Osogbo, Osun State, were thrown into confusion on Thursday, after the swollen body of a young lady was discovered in her room.
Findings indicated that the deceased, identified as Kemisola, an indigene of Igbajo town in Boluwaduro Local Government Area, was found dead early Thursday morning.
According to residents, Kemisola, a hairstylist who lived in a storey building, may have died on Monday with her decomposing body discovered after a strong, strange odour began filling the building.
A co-tenant, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he first noticed the odour on Tuesday evening.
When newsmen visited the house, Kemisola’s phone, a knife and an empty bottle suspected to contain substance were found at the scene.
A neighbour who identified herself simply as Omolara, described Kemisola as a jovial person and said she saw her on Monday evening when she returned home.
She explained that neighbours may not have realised Kemisola was in the house because she had moved in with her maternal uncle three months earlier and only visited the apartment occasionally.
Also reacting ,a man who identified himself as Kemisola’s brother, said she stopped by at his shop on Monday while returning from a trip to Igbajo.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Command spokesperson, Mr. Abiodun Ojelabi, stated that the command has commenced investigation into the incident.
Meanwhile, the body had been evacuated from the room in the presence of officers from the Osun State Police Command.
