Hoodlums suspected to be robbers terrorising residents of G.R.A in Benin City have targeted and robbed a man discovered deceased inside his Toyota SUV car in Benin.

Police investigators found the man seated behind the steering wheel, with his trousers pockets and the interior of his car ransacked by the miscreants.

Investigators at the Homicide Section, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Edo Police Command are attempting to identify him and reach out to his family, as his phone is missing.

The Public Relations Officer for Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, mentioned that the only available clue is a hotel receipt with the name Dr. Eromon David.

“The corpse was found inside a dark blue Toyota 4Runner with Registration number Lagos FKJ-39 FB at Ikpokpan junction, G.R.A, Benin City, this morning (Thursday).

“When officers searched the vehicle, they discovered that the phone of the man and other valuables were missing because the vehicle was ransacked.

“Even the body of the dead man was ransacked to the extent that his pockets were turned inside out, meaning that they tampered with the trousers pockets.

“Three copies of lodging receipts by the name of the University of Benin. When we checked the name on the receipts, we saw Dr. Eromon David. Investigation is ongoing,” SP Nwabuzor said.

He added that investigators would determine the cause of death and address other issues related to the incident.

The deceased, who had fastened his seatbelt, pulled over at Ikpokpan junction where he was found without any sign of bodily injury to suggest a violent attack.

The incident likely occurred at night, as the man did not receive assistance.
