Shock As Landlord’s Skeleton Is Found On His Bed 4 Years After He Was Last Seen In Oyo
The Adeosun/Idi Orogbo Community in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State was thrown into shock recently when they found one of their landlords, Mr John Aderemi Abiola, in his room, almost four years after he was last seen in December 2018.
The discovery was made after the community decided, with the approval of the police authorities, to go into his compound to clear the bush in his compound which had overgrown his fence into the next house, causing invasion by reptiles.
As 2019 crept into 2020, the residents started wondering where the man could be. Though he told about two of those he used to communicate with of his intention to go to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and be back for Ileya ceremony in 2018, not seeing him for the festivity and thereafter made them to think he was staying back where he initially came from.
Nigerian Tribune reports that calls to his phone lines were not going through. After it was noticed that the weeds in his compound had grown bushy, the community landlords were said to have decided in a meeting to find a means of getting access to the premises to clear the bush.
From then to 2021, till 2022 is getting to the end, the residents of the community who did not know his whereabouts decided again to go and clear the bush.
It is reported that laborers who went to clear the bush noticed that the window of Mr Abiola’s room was open, and his Volkswagen car was covered in bush which prompted curiosity.
One of the landlords, Mr Mohammed Ademola, who also worked for and used to interact with Mr Abiola, decided to check what was in the room. He was however shocked when he saw the skeleton on the bed of the house owner.
The eyewitnesses decided not to tamper with his remains because the community did not want to risk anything. They were told by security personnel to slow so the environmental authorities handle the matter.
Mr. Ademola noted that the deceased was not known with any of his family members and it was difficult to trace his family.

Cuban Embassy Honours Fidel Castro Nine Years After His Passing
By: Michael Mike
The Cuban Embassy in Nigeria has held a commemorative gathering to mark nine years since the death of Fidel Castro, with Ambassador Miriam Morales Palmero leading the tribute to the late Cuban leader whose influence, she said, continues to shape global struggles for justice.
Addressing diplomats, government officials, and members of Nigeria’s Cuba-friendship community, Ambassador Morales Palmero said the annual remembrance carries deep meaning for the Cuban people and remains a moment to reflect on the principles Castro championed throughout his lifetime.
She thanked attendees for what she described as a visible expression of the strong ties between Cuba and Nigeria, noting that solidarity between both nations “remains a living and unbreakable link.”
The ambassador described Castro as a figure whose impact went far beyond politics. She portrayed him as a global moral voice, committed to defending the disadvantaged and speaking out against oppression in all forms.
She said: “His (Castro) life was defined by dedication to just causes,” adding that his legacy reaches beyond Cuba’s borders to all who pursue a more equitable world.
Morales Palmero also highlighted Castro’s longstanding connection to Africa, recalling his admiration for countries on the continent and the mutual respect he cultivated with African leaders and liberation movements. According to her, Castro viewed Africa not only as a partner but as a source of resilience and inspiration.
Although Castro died in 2016, the envoy emphasized that his influence persists. She told the audience that Castro’s ideals, consistency, and loyalty to principle continue to serve as a guide for people who remain committed to justice and dignity. “Fidel did not disappear,” she said. “His example endures.”
The programme featured the screening of the documentary “Fidel is Fidel,” which presents key moments from Castro’s life and leadership. Organizers said the film was chosen to give audiences a renewed sense of the personal qualities—discipline, conviction, and humanity—that shaped his decades of public service.
The evening ended with expressions of continued friendship between Cuba and Nigeria, reaffirming shared commitments to solidarity and cooperation—values central to Castro’s worldview.
