unknown stranger, in a white caftan, took his life between Wednesday night and
Thursday morning after sneaking into the building in the night on Wednesday
night.
The sad incident took place on Lawal Unity Street, Ile-Iwe bus stop, Meiran Lagos state.
According to a resident, Adebayo Salami, said nobody knew the man and attempts to find his relatives had not yielded any result. He said,
“I was called on Thursday morning and told that somebody had died in a building.
“My initial thought was that it was somebody living in the area, but when we got there, we discovered that it was an uncompleted building and the man was a stranger.”
