The remains of a dead woman is yet to be evacuated from Wema Bank area along Gbagi-Iwo Road Expressway in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
According to Hammed Hamzat, an eyewitness, the corpse has been there for over 24 hours “without receiving any attention”.
“I saw it this morning on my way to work,” he said. “I learnt she died on that spot on Sunday morning after foaming in her mouth. People in the neighbourhood only put unused tyres around the body to restrict access to it.”
Hamzat added that “prompt evacuation is needed to avert the hazard it may constitute to the environment”.
