The Osun State Police Command says it will conduct an autopsy on the body of a woman identified as Bidemi Omole, who died at her boyfriend’s apartment on her way to a church vigil.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday around 9:35 p.m. at Oke-Esa in Esa-Oke community, Obokun Local Government Area.
