The corpse discovery caused pandemonium as residents were horrified at the gory sight.It was gathered that some parts of the body were missing, including the head, one hand and one leg which were later seen at a different location around the rail track.
The deceased identity could not be ascertained, but a source alleged that the victim might have been crushed on Sunday by a Lagos-Kano bound train during a stop over at Ilorin, while another source alleged that the young man may have committed suicide by jumping into a moving train.
Another source, however, claimed the victim may have been murdered and dragged down there by the killers.
When contacted, Okasanmi Ajayi, the state Police Public Relations Officer said, they gathered that the deceased was crushed by a moving train, adding that they were yet to ascertain the identity of the victim.
The spokesman said close residents of the areas alleged that the man was a lunatic.
Responding, Rasheed Gbadamosi, Railway District Manager, Nigeria Railway Corporation refuted the claims that the man was killed by a moving train.
"He was not killed by a moving train. We have asked all the drivers that drove at the weekend, and there was no report of any accident" Gbadamosi said. "If our train crushes somebody, definitely we will know because a telegram will be sent. It is not a hidden matter. We have a scenario where people, when they kill people or they find corpses around their environment, will deposit the corpses on rail lines. We have been experiencing that lately".
