TWO WORKERS FOUND DEAD IN CHINESE FIRM'S POOL

Two workers of Chinese Group of Companies, Ikeja, were found dead in the swimming pool of the Company on September 9, 2012. The victims, Odion Imhonbhio and Richard Dada, were found dead at the bottom of the pool within the company premises. Sources said that Odion and Dada went swimming the previous night around 9pm and were not seen till the following morning. 

The corpses were immediately recovered and sent to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for autopsy and the autopsy showed that two boys died of asphyxia and drowning. However, families of the deceased are in doubt of the real cause of death, they say they suspect foul play.

According to Odion’s brother, Matthew, the corpse of the 21-year-old man was found inside the swimming pool, with blood coming out of his ears, nostrils, and mouth.

Matthew said, “My brother’s corpse didn’t look like that of a drowned person. Something just looks suspicious because how can two full grown men just drown at the same time in a pool that is not deep?

“Although my brother is just a moderate swimmer, I learnt Dada was a very good swimmer and as such shouldn’t have drowned just like that.

“My brother worked as a cook in the company for about two years while Dada spent about three years there.”

Another member of the family questioned why the company would offer both families the sum of N500,000 each even  before investigations were concluded.

Odion, who is a twin, will be buried immediately according to the Edo custom.

So sad., may they RIP and I hope the Police will get to the bottom of this.
