Bishop Clement, a police inspector declared missing by his wife last week, has been found dead in the Festac Town area of Lagos.
Clement’s lifeless body was discovered at Second Rainbow, a location within Festac, days after the Nigeria Police Force had issued a wireless message requesting assistance in locating him.
The inspector, who was serving with the force in Lagos, was last seen on April 23, 2025, after leaving home for work and failing to return.
His wife formally reported his disappearance, prompting the circulation of an internal signal from the office of the commissioner of police, department of finance and administration (COMPOL DFA), Ikeja, and the assistant commissioner of police, area ‘B’, Apapa.
The police message was referenced AB: 2680/LS/AP/VOL.1/146 and outlined the circumstances of the initial report.
