Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this during an Instagram live session with media personality, Daddy Freeze, on Thursday night.

“The Force PRO issued a statement this evening (Thursday) saying that investigation will commence and that’s what we’re going to do.

“If need be, the body will be exhumed. It’s not too late. The body can be exhumed and autopsy can be performed.

“The statement also states that people should bring whatever information they have to the commissioner of police in Lagos State. That’s because we don’t want to do hierarchy anymore. Take it to Force CID, bring it to Lagos Command. It doesn’t matter. We’re going to harmonise it within ourselves and ensure that justice is done”, said Hundeyin.
