“The car has been standing here since yesterday (Monday). But this morning, people moved closer and discovered that there were two lifeless bodies inside it. We don’t know what killed them,” a  resident said.

“He carried the lifeless body of the woman in his vehicle. People in that neighbourhood ran to Ilaje police station in Bariga to report,” Oyeyemi said.

 

He added:”But he drove off, straight to his house at Orimerunmu. He dropped a suicide note, informing his wife that he had killed somebody. He told his wife not to bother looking for him, asking her to take care of the children. Then he left the house.

 

“He drove and parked near NASFAT area and he committed suicide there. We saw a container of Sniper in the vehicle which suggested that he drank Sniper (an insecticide).
