Until his death, Benedict was into production of audiovisuals, promotional videos and other multimedia works.

He hailed from Aghoro Namede of Ekpoma LGA, Edo state

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the deceased’s decomposing body was discovered in his Ikeja apartment where he lived alone.

He had not been seen outside since he was last seen on Saturday 14 January, while neighbours suspected no foul play but the stench from his already decomposing body was what attracted attention to his apartment.

The landlady, Mrs Daudu had to alert the police at MAN Centre Police Station, Ikeja and people around.

His entrance door was thereafter forced open and he was found dead, with his laptop, phones and other gadgets by his side.

From his phone, they were able to get phone numbers of people to call.

He was said to be living alone as the landlady, Mrs Daudu does not allow married tenants in her house.

So there was nobody around him that would’ve noticed if not for the stench oozing out of his apartment which attracted attention.
