Osemudiamen Idemudia, a young banker reported missing in Lagos, was tragically found dead with machete wounds in a Yaba mortuary, leaving his family and the public demanding answers from police.

  • Idemudia, 26, was last seen on May 9 near CMS, Lagos Island, before being declared missing.
  • His body, discovered on May 19, bore machete cuts to the head, face, and legs, suggesting foul play.
  • Police reportedly deposited the body, but morgue officials provided no further details about its origin.

Segun, a grieving family member, described the moment of discovery as devastating. “We found him with machete wounds. I’m so sad,” he said. The family searched multiple hospitals and mortuaries before identifying his body. Their anguish is deepened by unanswered questions and a lack of police accountability.

Why is there still no clarity on who killed Osemudiamen—and where? With no transparent police response or ongoing investigation confirmed, will his killers ever be brought to justice?
