There was pandemonium in Iree, Osun State on Saturday over the discovery of the mutilated body of a missing student of Osun State Polytechnic, Festus Adedoyin Ewejobi, in his room.
He was said to have been killed by unknown men at his residence on Popoola Street near Eyinade area of the town.
It was learnt that Ewejobi had disappeared four days earlier without a trace leaving his neighbours and friends worried.
This prompted his neighbours to raise the alarm, leading to the constitution of a search party for his whereabouts.
According to sources, it was while the search was in progress that neighbours perceived a stench from his room, fuelling suspicion that he might have been harmed.
His apartment was immediately forced open only to find his decomposed body riddled with machete cuts.
The matter was reported to a nearby police station while his body was evacuated to a public morgue.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Osun State Command, Mrs Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident, adding that the body of the deceased was released to his family and that he has since been buried.
