The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, who confirmed to NewsNet Nigeria the death of the 23-year-old comedian, said his decomposing corpse was discovered by his sister after three days at his apartment on Otomiewo Street, Ekpan in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
He said the Warri-born comedian was not seen come out of his apartment since Friday.
According to NIGER DELTA TODAY ONLINE, sources close to the late comedian said they suspect Brakin Face died since Friday.
It was learnt that his mobile phones had not been reachable since on Friday prompting friends and family members to embark on his search.
The search team was said to have reached out to other of his colleagues who claimed they had not heard from him.
His apartment had been under lock and key since Thursday with no one suspecting he had died.
After searching to no avail, friends and family members visited his house and broke into the apartment where they found his already decomposing body.
