The command’s spokesperson, SP Chidi Nwabutor, made the disclosure via a statement issued on Wednesday.

“During preliminary investigation, photographs of the dead bodies were taken.
“Also, the bodies were thoroughly searched and examined but there was no noticeable mark of violence or materials that could have led to identifying where they were from.
“Investigation was also extended to the Fulani/Hausa Communities and the indigenous communities who came, examined corpses, and declared that the dead bodies were not members of their vigilance groups.
“The bodies had since been deposited at the Ibillo General Hospital Mortuary for preservation and forensic investigation,” the police spokesperson stated.
Nwabutor noted that the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Dankwara, appealed to the people to give out useful information that may lead to uncovering the causes of the young men’s death, adding that such information could lead to the possible arrest of any suspect.
