The state police spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident to newsmen, noting that the police would not make further comments until the conclusion of investigations.
The deceased, Adebayo Adeseko, 30, and Sarah Adesanya, 36, were found dead in their 8B Gbete Street, Ojodu Berger residence on Sunday morning.
There were however conflicting reports on the cause of death.
While an account claimed that the man, Adeseko allegedly killed his older partner during an altercation and then committed suicide; another information alleged the couple killed themselves.
According to Hundeyin, the command would not be dragged to the realm of speculation because it was their duty to unravel the truth.
He said: “I can confirm to you that their bodies were found in their apartment and homicide detectives have commenced an investigation.
“We cannot at this point say what happened and we do not want to join social media speculations because we are the police and it is our duty to uncover what happened. Anything could have happened there,” he said.
Hundeyin said the bodies were discovered following a report filed at the station around 9:10 am on Sunday.
