The police in Lagos State are looking for friends
of the two lovebirds found dead in a Toyota Corolla on Abisogun Leigh Street,
Ogba, Lagos State.
The move, it was gathered, was to investigate
what played out at a birthday party the duo attended the previous day.
LR News had reported that a tricycle
rider and a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, had
discovered that the lovers, identified as Lukmon and Promise, were motionless
inside the car with its headlamps on.
They alerted operatives of the Area G Police
Command, who opened the car door and found them dead.
While the man was reportedly met half naked on
the driver’s seat with his private parts exposed, the woman was said to be in a
gown, reclining on the passenger’s seat beside him.
A brand of alcoholic drink – Best – and
their phones were allegedly recovered from the car around 9am on Sunday.
It was gathered that Lukmon, Promise and some of
their friends, had attended a birthday party at Obawole, in the Iju Ishaga area
the previous evening.
A credible source at the Area G Command confided
in our correspondent on Tuesday that the police were looking for the friends.
“For now, investigation is not pointing to a
murder case. However, the investigation is still at a preliminary stage. We are
looking for the friends they (the deceased) attended the birthday party with to
get information on what transpired at the event,” the source said.
Another source said the case had been transferred
to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, for
discreet investigations.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer,
ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the command would explore all the investigative
angles to the incident.
He said, “It is still a case of sudden and
unnatural death. We will leave no stone unturned. The families of the deceased
will be interviewed. Investigation will be thorough to know if there was a foul
play.
