The branch manager of a commercial bank, Habeeb Olatunde, who was reportedly declared missing on June 18, 2014 was found dead in an uncompleted building at Arepo, near Ibafo, at about 3pm on Saturday.

The Ogun state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this on Monday in a statement, saying police detectives attached to Ibafo Divisional Headquarters led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Salawu Jimoh, made the discovery.
