The decomposing body of a hairstylist, identified simply as Kemisola was found on Thursday inside her apartment in Osogbo, Osun State capital.
The incident which throw residents into confusion, occurred at Jaleyemi area of the state capital.
The deceased, an indigene of Igbajo town in Boluwaduro Local Government Area, was found dead by a co-tenant on Thursday morning.

“This morning, I saw that her apartment door was open and I called out to greet her, but she didn’t respond,” the neighbour said.
“That was when I decided to check on her, and I was shocked to find her decomposing body lying on the bed. I don’t even know her full name. We only exchanged greetings and occasional chats as neighbours.”
The body was later evacuated from the room in the presence of officers from the Osun State Police Command.
The state police spokesperson, Abiodun Ojelabi, said the command has begun a probe into the incident.
Ojelabi added that, “there was no mark of violence on the deceased’s body.”
