Residents of the building fled when a police team arrived at the house.
The spokesperson of the police command in Kaduna State, Mohammed Jalige, told journalists that a thorough investigation would be conducted on the matter.
Mr Jalige said the victim, Ibrahim Ado, was first discovered by some environmental health officers who were in the house on official duty. “They reported to the Magajin Gari Police Division, and the Commissioner of Police directed personnel to evacuate the victim.
He also directed for a full-scale investigation of the matter to unravel the circumstances surrounding the issue and why the man was kept in isolation for this long,” he added.
