Residents of Azikoro community in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, were thrown into panic on Saturday after the decomposing body of a man, identified simply as Mr Obocy, was discovered floating in the Azikoro Canal.

Mr Obocy, whose corpse was said to have a brick bound to its waist, was said to be in his thirties and hailed from Otuogori community in Ogbia LGA.
