By The body of Police Inspector, Musa Sunday have been finally found after he went missing sometimes in November 2016 after he was posted to Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
BlackBox Nigeria learnt that the discovery of his body is coming weeks after his service rifle was also found in same community.
However, the family of the deceased Police officer who until his death was attached to the Lagos State Police Command, are yet to come to terms with how the discoveries were made.
According to a report by Punch, Sunday’s remains was found in a shallow grave located in a bushy area at Akodo, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos. The body was found in a stage of advanced decomposition.
It was gathered that Sunday and other officers were sent to the community last year to resolve an impending land dispute. On arrival, the Police team rescued a man from a mob of hoodlums. Just as other officers took the rescued man to the vehicle to keep him safe, the hoodlums were said to have pounced on Inspector Sunday who led the team.
The other Police officers were said to have left the scene of the incident without Inpsector Sunday and no arrest was made on that day. He has since gone missing.
Punch disclosed that Inspector Sunday body was found in the shallow grave with his two hands and legs tied together while his head was covered with a cloth. Some family members were also present at the grave where he was found, with a pathologist and a Police patrol team.
The family members have since queried the Lagos State Police Command for not making a single arrest since the incident occurred as they claim something was indeed wrong and needed to be properly informed about the person that returned Inspector Sunday’s service rifle and the person that eventually found his body. They disclosed that they surely would know about the incident.
After the body was recovered, the Police disclosed that a DNA test will be conducted. Samples were gotten from the deceased family member. The pathologist revealed that the result will be ready in three weeks after which the body will be released for burial.
One MR Jonathan, a cousin to the deceased Police officer revealed to Punch how a high chief from the community approached the family attempting to settle them with N2m. He agitated that why will the community be bold enough to come up with a compensation plan when the events surrounding the death of the officer was sketchy.
