Lifeless bodies of couple found in Lagos apartment: Police
The police command in Lagos has confirmed the deaths of a man and a woman, suspected to be lovers, in an apartment in the Ojodu area of the state.
The command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this on Monday.
Mr Hundeyin said the sudden and unnatural death was reported to the Ojodu Police Division on Sunday at about 9:10 a.m.
He said the lifeless bodies of the couple, Adebayo Adeseko, 30, and Sarah Adesanya, 36, were found at their apartment at No. 8B, Gbete Street, off Shoyemi Bamaco Estate, Ojodu Berger, Lagos.
The spokesperson said that on the strength of the information, a team of operatives from the station immediately went to the scene.
Mr Hundeyin said cops photographed the scene and evacuated the corpses to a mortuary for autopsy while an investigation into their death continued.
Mr Adeseko was a filmmaker who reportedly had a misunderstanding on Saturday with his lover, which degenerated into a heated argument and into a fight, resulting in the woman’s death.
It further learnt that the man allegedly stabbed himself and died after he discovered that the woman had given up the ghost.
