Three decomposing bodies were found inside a bush along the Illah-Ugbolu road in the Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday May 26.

Residents of the community woke up to find the bodies of the men and alerted the police.

Spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, while commenting on the discovery, said the men were not killed in the community. She added that the identities of the men cannot be ascertained yet.

“Our men found three bodies in the bush along the road, but they were already decomposing, so we couldn’t identify them. We don’t know what caused their death, but it is obvious that they were not killed there. Their corpses were brought and dumped there. For now, we cannot identify who they are, because the bodies are already decomposing.” she said

Onovwakpoyeya added that investigation into the matter is ongoing.
