The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, on Sunday told our correspondent that the case was being investigated by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Department of Criminal Investigations, Yaba. PUNCH Metro learnt that the decomposing bodies of the women were found last week Tuesday in a canal on Akele Street, Anibaba area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
