A gospel artist, Matthew Ogundele, and three members of his crew have been found dead inside a music studio in the Abraham Adesanya area of Ajah, Lagos State.

The others who died were Itunu Ogundele, Joseph Sanya, and a blogger, Matthew Awosanya, also known as JoesTV.

They had been invited to perform on the second day of a three-day birthday praise event organised by gospel singer Olanireti Akinbola. According to a police source, the group finished their session late and decided to stay overnight at the studio. Their bodies were discovered the following morning.

A Christian blog, Omojesu, reported that the victims could not return home due to the distance from the studio. The post said they all reportedly died in their sleep.

The incident was reported at Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah. Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed that the studio owner, Akintayo Akinbola, who is also the husband of the celebrant, discovered the bodies. He had left the artists at the studio after buying food for them, and when he returned the next morning, the studio door was locked from the inside.

Police visited the scene, took photographs, and found no marks of violence on the bodies.

The corpses were taken to Mainland Hospital, Yaba, where a doctor confirmed them dead. They were later moved to the hospital mortuary for autopsy and preservation.

The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, for further investigation.
