Police in Anambra have discovered the decomposing body of a man in his apartment in Awka, the capital.
Spokesman of the command, Mohammed Haruna, said in a statement on Wednesday that Dr Albert Gini was believed to have died of natural death in the apartment which he lived alone.

Dr Gini died in the four-flat apartment which he rented for clinic and residency purposes.
The spokesman said Duke Ezeonwuka, who lived in the Kawata area where the decomposed body was seen, reported to the police on November 26 that one of the houses he managed had been locked from inside with occupant’s phone switched off.
Mr Ezeonwuka said he believed that he had traveled to Brazil as usual since September when he last saw him, but was however taken aback by an unusual odour exuding from one of the rooms in the upper floor.
Ezeonwuka added that this prompted him to call on neighbours who assisted to open the window where they saw the decomposing body in the room.

According to him, no implement of violence seen or observed and no foul play suspected from a critical analysis of the crime scene.
The police spokesman added that the deceased’s relatives have been contacted and arrangements are ongoing to evacuate the remains for autopsy.
