How Scavenger hanged self in Lagos

Traders at the Ladipo Auto Spare Parts market were met with shock today after discovering the lifeless body of a scavenger hanging from a tree near Toyota Bus Stop on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in Lagos.

Although it is suspected that the individual may have taken his own life, the police have yet to release any official information regarding the circumstances surrounding his death.

A wheelbarrow pusher at the market, identified simply as Stephen, recounted the incident to Vanguard, saying, “We noticed the body hanging from the tree around 7 a.m., as we were starting our day’s work.”

“No one could tell when exactly he committed the act.

“There were no marks of violence on his body to suggest that he was attacked before his neck was tied to the tree.

“His bags, filled with empty plastic bottles, were on the ground, and a slipper was still on one of his legs.

“No one could do anything. People only gathered to watch, and take pictures and videos of the scene.

“They said they would post it on the internet so that anyone who knows him will come for his corpse.

“He had tribal marks on both cheeks. He should be in his 30s.

“The body was said to have been removed by 4:30 p.m. by security operatives.”
