Corpse of a 55-year-old woman, Joke Olaniji, have found two weeks after she was declared missing in Ondo state.
Relatives of the deceased found her decomposing body at a cocoa farm that is two hours away from her residence at Atoyo area, Ondo East Local Government Area of Ondo State.
According to sources, late Joke left the house without telling anybody where she was going.
It was gathered that she left the door to her room opened including her phone.
Her mother, Julianna, said she thought her daughter went to buy gala when she returned home from a meeting and didn’t find her at home.
“Around 3:30pm, when I was coming from the meeting, I saw somebody coming out of our house. She told me that she could not find Joke in the house, as she wanted to buy nylon.
“I became worried and quickly ran home to call people’s attention to help me look for my daughter because she went out in the morning without telling me where she was going.
“When we could not trace her, we informed the police and went to other places to pray so that she could come home. But we did not see her until police called that her body had been found naked in one cocoa farm, very close to our area.”
Juliana urged the police to help unravel what happened to her daughter and arrest the perpetrators.
It was learnt that the remains of Joke has since been buried.
