A Deputy Commissioner of Police serving with the Force Criminal and Investigation Department, Alagbon, Lagos State, Gbolahan Oyedemi, on Monday, reportedly committed suicide in his private house in his hometown, Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
The PUNCH reports that Oyedemi
was the Aide de Camp to the late former Governor of the state, Adebayo
Alao-Akala, during his 11-month tenure as defacto governor in 2006.
A source close to the family
told our correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday in Ibadan, the state
capital, that Oyedemi, who normally visited his hometown during the Easter
celebrations, told his aides at the weekend to go to their various towns to
celebrate with their family members.
The source said, “Yes, he
committed suicide. His body was found hanging in his house yesterday (Monday).
He stays alone, and he normally comes home for Easter celebrations.
“This time, he told his aides
to go and celebrate with their family members in their various homes. Only God
knows what could have prompted him to commit suicide.”
All efforts to get the reaction
of the state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, were
unsuccessful, as his mobile number was unreachable.
