Police operatives in Kogi State have confirmed the recovery of the corpse of a photojournalist, Ayo Aiyepeku, who was allegedly murdered by Oluwapelumi Adebayo, an officer with the Nigeria Correction Service in Lokoja, last Sunday.

The spokesman of the Command, William Aya, while confirming the recent development to journalists, said Aiyepeku’s body was found on Sunday evening at a location in zone eight in a bush near the JAMB office, Lokoja, after residents of the area raised an alarm of unpleasant odour as a result of the decomposing body of the late photographer.

He stated that the corpse has been deposited at Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, assuring that a discreet investigation will help the Police uncover what truly happened.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer appealed to the victim’s family, colleagues, and the public to provide credible information to aid the investigation.
