He said the Warri-born comedian who has not been seen in his apartment since Friday, “while his mobile phones had also not been reachable since then, prompted friends and family members to embark on a search for him.”
The search team was said to have reached out to other colleagues of his who claimed they had not heard from him.
His apartment had been under lock and key since Thursday with no one suspecting he had died.
After searching to no avail, friends and family members visited his house and broke into the apartment where they found his already decomposing body.
One of his colleagues, however, said there was no mark or injury on his body but they suspected he might have been poisoned, The Will reports.
