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.
PUNCH Metro learnt that 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."
PUNCH Metro learnt that the guard and the trader
had been arrested by the police.
The spokesperson for the state police command,
Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident to our
correspondent on the telephone.
She said, "On Thursday morning, the landlord of
the building, Amaechi Nwosu, reported at the
Okota Police Division that his tenant, who was a
bachelor, was found dead in his flat. Policemen
went to the scene and noticed that he was killed in
a mysterious manner as his penis had been cut off.
"Before the corpse was discovered, there had been
attempts by the neighbours to force the door
open. It was at that point that the security guard
opened up that the key was with him. He said
someone had given the key and the man's
telephone to a trader and the trader handed it
over to him.
"The security guard and the trader have been
arrested and are being questioned as they never
bothered to inform anybody that they were with
the key prior to now."

This is unfortunate. The crave for riches and/or power in man has reached a fearful stage. God help us. But then, why arrest the trader? What exactly is his offence? Its okay to question him and get a statement but why arrest him?

BTW, nothing political about this thread, should be pushed to crime, thats where it belongs.
