A few weeks after a young Nigerian woman was found dead in her home in Columbus, Indiana, another Nigerian has been found dead in his home. 57 year old Benjamin Chibuogwu from Awka in Anambra state was found dead in his home in Lowell, Massachusetts on Saturday December 7th.

The divorced father of five who lived alone in his apartment was discovered after his brother asked a friend residing close to Mr Chibuogwu to help check on him because he couldn't reach him on phone. The friend and Mr Chibuogwu's landlord forcefully gained entrance into his apartment where they found his body.

Mr Chibuogwu had been dead for at least 3 days before he was found. Nobody knows how he died.
