A Nigerian man has been brutally murdered and found in his car by neighbours at Alaro community on Sango-Eleyele Road, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The man identified as Baba Jide was found dead in his car on Thursday morning. He was found with a wound in his head suspected to be from a gunshot.
According to Saturday Tribune, the man was discovered dead in his white Golf 2 car with registration number FC 996 APP.
Some residents of the area were said to have told the police, who went to the scene, led by the Divisional Police Officer of Sango Division, SP Joyce Madaki, after the report of the incident, that they heard a sound at about 12 midnight but thought it was fireworks.
It was learnt that the deceased was using his private car for commercial purposes and used to return between 11:30p.m. and shortly before midnight.
It was further gathered that he lived alone in the neighbourhood where he was shot dead, as his wife and children were not living in the city.
A reliable source said that when the pocket of the deceased was searched, about N10,000 was found in it, while the car key was still in the ignition.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the story, saying it was a case of suspected murder which the command was investigating.
The PPRO said that the corpse of the deceased had been deposited in the mortuary at State Hospital, Yemetu Adeoyo Ibadan.
