The police spokesman further quoted Mustapha as saying that he ran into their kitchen and saw the lifeless body of the 80-year-old man hanging on a rope that was tied to the burglary railing of one of the windows in the kitchen.
Hundeyin added: “The scene has been visited by DCB personnel of Imota Division and photographs taken.
“Though the family of the deceased is not interested in depositing the body in the mortuary, rather, they preferred to bury the corpse immediately, due to age and religious inclination.”
