“When the police got there to remove the corpse some people came around and identified him as the director we have been searching for in the past three days.

“It was his suit they used to identify him, but his head has been cut off and his chest ripped open while his intestine was removed,” Odunlami said.

The police spokesperson said that investigation was ongoing to unravel the circumstances behind the killing of the TESCOM Director.

“Investigation has started, his phone was left behind and some other things too. So, we are going to work with what we have to know if he had issues with anybody.

“And maybe it’s a ritual case, but it is investigation that will reveal all these,” she said.
