Ogun State’s Police Command reported the arrest of a man named Babatunde Kolawole who was allegedly discovered in possession of a recently deceased male body. The arrest was carried out by Amotekun corps and the suspect was handed over to the police in the Ado/Odo-Ota area. SP Omolola Odutola, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), conveyed in a statement that CSP Saleh Dahiru, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Sango-Ota, received a report from Amotekun and took the suspect into custody. The PPRO mentioned that initial investigations have begun.

Although the suspect did not deny the incident, he claimed to be a native doctor trying to revive the deceased. The circumstances of how he came into possession of the fresh corpse during the late hours of the night remain unclear. No one has come forward to claim the body, and the suspect has not provided any information about the corpse’s origin, making it difficult for the police to gather more details and solve the case. The corpse has been transported to Ifo General Hospital for an autopsy.

Odutola urged the community to share any relevant information about the incident with the police. She also encouraged community members to contribute to the investigation by shedding light on this unsettling occurrence.
