The lifeless body of a woman identified simply as Halimat was found near a mosque in the Ogo-Oluwa area of Osogbo, Osun State.
The spokesperson of the Osun State Police Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, who confirmed the incident, said the remains of the deceased were recovered on Monday, August 4, 2025 alongside a piece of paper that looked like a suicide note.
Ojelabi said operatives were deployed to the area immediately a report reached the Command.
“The lifeless body was found at the back of a mosque in the Ogo-Oluwa area of Osogbo. Police operatives that were deployed to the scene smelt odour of Sniper,” the PPRO said.
“That fuelled suspicion. Also, something like a suicide note was also found near the body. So, with all that, there was a suspicion that the deceased probably took her life.
“I must also say that there were no marks of violence on the deceased when it was recovered by the police.
“During investigation, a relation of the deceased was found by the police, and he volunteered many pieces of information about her, which is helping us.”
Ojelabi assured that the Command will continue with its probe and ensure that the mystery behind the death is uncovered.
