2 workers found at the bottom of a pool in a Chinese-owned company in Lagos

So, I got this email last week from a guy who said his friend's brother who worked for a Chinese company died in the company's pool sometime last week.

He said the young factory worker decided to sleep over at the company and the following evening, his body and that of another colleague were found inside the company's swimming pool, with blood coming out of their ears, nostrils, and mouth. They say they suspect foul play.

I didn't put up the story at the time because I wanted to get more info. The new info I have now are the names of the dead men, the name of the company and the address. I will leave the company's name out of this for now because most of the police stations contacted around the area about this case said they are not aware of it...as no one has reported it. The company is situated at Rev Ogunbiyi Str., Ikeja and the names of the dead men are: Imhonbhio Martins Odion from Ewohimi, Edo state and Richard Dada from Ugoja Rivers State.

A trusted reporter friend of mine is working on the story and as soon as I get details, I will definitely update you all. Continue to see the dead workers being pulled out of the pool...but *viewers discretion advised*

    1. I think we should wait for an autopsy before jumping to conclusions. A competent pathologist should be called in. The bodies seem relatively well-preserved and a cause of death should not be hard 2 determine.

  12. Ahn Ahn, who did this? Na wa oh.

  13. NYC-1 says: So "they are not aware of it" After making such a STUPID statement, did they go to check it out? Or those involved are not sons of a 'a big man?' Or they have more important things to do? It hurt me to imagine that nothing probably will be done to bring the people responsible to justice. That is your Nigeria. The Nigeria Police Force seriously need overhauling. In civilized democracies, no police man will make such a STUPID statement and still keep his job. I recommend NPF to watch 'Flashpoint.'

  14. the chances of two persons
    drowning in a pool at d same time are
    pretty high.

    Look at their hands it's like they were strugglin wit som1 or somtin

    However no use speculating. Let the
    police investigate these deaths.

Chin chong pple 'll cm to anoda country n harm its citizens & d "authorities" 'll luk away cuz dey r "whiteys", mtschew. Rip Martins n Dada

  20. Why does it matter if its a chinese or birnin-kebbi run company?

    The two men are in swimming trunks, which indicates they went swimming. The fact that they both died with blood coming out of some of their orifices indicates a number of things could have happened, including the pool was hit by lightning while they were in it.

    Stating its a chinese company's pool is irrelevant.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It definitely looks like an electrical surge in the pool which electrocuted them, this is obvious from the nature of the body position, an after-shock effect. Pools have electricity running them, especially to filter the water and also lights around the pool, sometimes in the pool itself.
    The contractor who built the pool if they really did die from electric shock is negligible.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hmmm. Dis looks fishy cos how could both of them supposedly drown in the pool though in their swimming trunks. There is serious foul play in their deaths and was made to look like they died in the pool. Trust naija police, this will be swept heavily under the carpet. These Chinese pple sef.

  28. Let's wait for more investigation by the police then Nigerians can decide what to say

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nawa oo...who must have done dis?may deir souls R.I.P....only God knws wah happened!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hmmmmmmm just can't help but wonder what they were doing in the pool and also in their trunks. Please this deaths has to be investigated with imidiate effect and an autopsy should be carried out to ascertain the cause of death. (I used to think dead bodies float on water but whatever these deaths should be investigated properly).

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am sure they were killed by dose chienese,bastard racist,killing our people in our land again,it is high time we protest against dis radical people or else ........

    ReplyDelete
  32. Not that I am accusing anybody, but it will be foolish of me to believe that two able bodied men got drowned in a shallow pool like that.
    Police should come in and do their job! this case should not be like the ABSU rape case

  61. We hope the culprit get jabbed. its not fair that the Police Force around should pretend like nothing'z happened cos of maybe some ~kudi~I imagine the trigger is in line with the China Strike from all over. they had better not bring that to Nigeria.

  64. linda i can assure u the chinese men killed these ppl. those ppl are wicked,i work with a chinese company down here in PH will not mention name and we nigerians are been treated like slaves here. yeah i know some of u will say quit what are u still doing there and all, buh my sister/brother we all know there's no job in nigeria. these ppl dont regard us as humans,we are camped somewhere outside PH city close to our site cos its a construction firm and sometimes 2days we go without food. did i menetion am a lady?yea a single gal for that matter that is ripe for marriage. nobody is chyking me here,after doing d hard labour job and receive insults ontop d least thing on my mind will be to keep a pretty face for them guys to chyke. SOmetimes i just wish i can video and record all the things these ppl do and say to us for the public to see but u know how our country is,u will be the one to get stoned instead of the culprits. We cant even use our mobile phones here. as a matter of fact am inside the toilet now typing this. these chinese people are heartless and are capable of anything. am out pls can hear my supervisor barking like a dog now.

  69. Its very possible that they were forced into their trunks and into the water.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Its possible dis guys were killed frm sumthin dey saw or heard nd were wore those trucks 2 mak it luk lik d guys went 4 a swim nd drown in d process.

  71. Lord have mercy this is so sad.

  72. Linda this case is a simple case of murder you don't need a pastor to tell you.these guys worked for this company for a long time and they knew how to swim very well the swimming trunk is a strong indication dat they are good swimmers it but proves dat they can swim. they were murdered either they saw what they shouldn't have seen or they witnessed something that went down in the company to hush them they were killed and thrown into the swimming pool.
    evidence two the pool is not deep its just 5ft 8 not enough to drown able grown men besides the guy in the blue pant has is hand twisted an indication that rigor mortise did set in before they were thrown in to the pool. these guys were killed

  78. RIP to the Dead but from my own detective point of view, both guys went swimming at night and they saw/met MAMIWATER in the pool.
    This MAMIWATER is the god which owners of the coy worship.

    Why would a manufacturing company have swimming Pool?

    ReplyDelete
  79. You don't need anyone to tell u they were murdered. But who will fight for them? Government don't care, if Dana air is flying now, then no hope. The foreign investors know where they are. Nigeria is the only place I know where her government allows foreigners to commit atrocities n go free...just bc money changed hands.

    Rest in peace young men.

  82. Jus thinkin...why would d company want them dead and why are they wearing swimming trunks? But then again blood from orifices in d head from my medical education suggests cranial injury...they were probably hit in d head then push in or they but dived in from a height head in first,@ d same time;as in paralympics Йαђ !! Jus thinkin!
