The corpse of a 55-year-old woman, Joke Olaniji, who was declared missing about two weeks ago, has been found.

Her decomposing corpse was said to have been found in a cocoa farm that is about two hours walk away from her residence at Atoyo area, Ondo East Local Government Area of Ondo State.

It was gathered that the deceased left the house without telling anybody where she was going.

Her mother, Julianna, said she thought her daughter went to buy something when she returned home from a meeting and didn’t find her at home.

She urged the police to help unravel what happened to her daughter and arrest the perpetrators.

It was learnt that the remains of Joke have since been buried.

Spokesman for the Ondo State Police Command, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro, told Eko Trust that though the remains of the deceased have been buried, investigation goes on.
