LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – A man in his late 30s, simply identified as David, has been found, five days after he is said to have died in his residence in Abasi Okure area of Calabar.
David, who lived on Abasi Okure Street near the popular Mbukpa Street in Calabar, was reported to have died five days before his body was found.
Neighbours discovered his body earlier today, when the stench from his apartment became unbearable, daily post reports.
“There’s nobody in this neighbourhood who does not know that David was a ‘wife’ to two other men. Often he liked to dress in women’s outfits and acted like a woman”, a neighbour, Cecilia Esu disclosed.

Another neighbour who gave his name as Etim Akpan said they had to alert the police who responded swiftly.
“Other neighbours who could not withstand the terrible odour from the decomposed body, took to their heels believing that the police would arrest anybody in sight when they arrive.
“We learnt that he locked himself inside his parents’ apartment since five days ago. He’s been sick.”
Youth leader, Mr. Offiong Inameti, blamed the sibling and parents for not alerting them when he died and before the body decomposed.
Inameti led the collection of voluntary donations from bystanders and neighbours to support the parents whom he said were unable to afford the expenses to evacuate the body for burial.
He further stated that he had to dissuade the Police from making arrests, saying no neighbour was responsible.
Meanwhile, the body was evacuated and wrapped in nylons and taken for burial.
