The Police did not identify him immediately, until close friends revealed that the body was that of Fahim Sahel.
The incident was first discovered by Sahel's sister who went to check on him, after she didn't hear from him for a day.
The saw was still plugged into an electrical outlet when the police arrived, making detectives believe that the arrival of Sahel's sister might have erupted the murder mission and prompted the killer to flee, according to a police officer.
The officer added that a surveillance camera captured a video of Saleh in the building's elevator with a person wearing a black suit and black mask.
On the video, Sahel and the unknown man at his back immediately began to struggle after he entered his apartment.
The sister was seen on the video few minutes later.
Fahim started Gokada, a motorcycle ride-sharing company in Lagos State in 2018.
