The source said the deceased whose identity was not known was last seen about four years ago.
Mr. Olalekan explained that a neighbour has reported to the landlords association that the bushy house of the deceased person was already breeding dangerous animals, a development which prompted the association to seek police permission to break into the house to clear it.

Mr.Olalekan described the incident as unfortunate.(FRCN)
