Hundeyin disclosed that one Akeem, a coworker of the deceased, and her landlord reported the case at the Dopemu Police Division on Wednesday, March 13.
He said the coworker reported that the deceased was absent from work and a senior staff on duty instructed him to check up on her since she lived close to the company.
The police spokesman said: “On getting there, Akeem met her room open, entered the room with two neighbours of the deceased, and discovered her lifeless naked body in a pool of blood with her neck slit.
“Investigation is ongoing but regarding the alleged missing heart of the deceased, nothing of such happened.”
Hundeyin added that the officials of the Lagos State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit have evacuated the remains of the deceased to the Mainland General Hospital in Yaba, Lagos State, for autopsy.
