Residents of Olukayode Street in Ijegun, a Lagos suburb, were thrown into shock, weekend, following the discovery of the bloated body of a five-year-old boy inside a septic tank.

The corpse was discovered to be that of Abdulramon, who was declared missing.

Late Abdulrasman, as gathered, attended an Islamic school on Oloyo Street, close to his parent’s residence, on Wednesday. He was said to have taken permission to go and defecate.

Apprehension, however, set in at about 8 pm, when his elder sister, who also attends same school, did not see him. She went home, apparently thinking he could have gone home, only to be informed he was yet to get home.
