Woman’s Lifeless Body Found Near Mosque In Osun

There was panic in the Ogo Oluwa area of Osogbo, Osun State on Monday as a lifeless body of a lady identified simply as Halimat was recovered by operatives of the state Police Command.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Ojelabi, who confirmed the incident, said the remains of the deceased were picked up alongside a piece of paper that looked like a suicide note.

Ojelabi noted that operatives were deployed to the area immediately a report reached the Command that a corpse was lying near a mosque in the area, adding that a relation of the deceased had been found.

“The lifeless body was found at the back of a mosque in the Ogo-Oluwa area of Osogbo. Police operatives that were deployed to the scene smelt odour of Sniper.

“That fuelled suspicion. Also, something like a suicide note was found near the body. So, with all that, there was a suspicion that the deceased probably took her life.

“I must also say that there were no marks of violence on the deceased when it was recovered by the police.

“During investigation, a relation of the deceased was found by the police, and he volunteered many pieces of information about her, which is helping us,” Ojelabi said.

He assured that the Command will continue with its probe and ensure that the mystery behind the death is uncovered.
