In a tragic discovery, the lifeless body of a male individual was found under the Okefia Bridge in Osogbo, Osun State on Friday.

Details surrounding the presence of the body at that location remain unclear, but eyewitnesses noted that the man was partially undressed. According to a trader named Chibuzor in the area, the body was first spotted around midday, prompting concerned individuals to alert security personnel for further investigation.

In response to the call, personnel from the Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) quickly arrived at the scene. They were later joined by officials from the Osogbo West local government, who worked together to remove the body. A bag containing some clothing was found near the deceased individual.
