A 33-year-old, Adebayo Busayo, is said to have taken his own life at Stanley Street, Ipamaki Ibafo in Ogun State.
According to reports, the incident took place around 6:00 pm on Sunday.
It was reported that the deceased had previously confided in one of his sisters, who later discovered his lifeless body, expressing feelings of depression before ultimately taking his own life on Sunday.
An anonymous eyewitness disclosed that the deceased had been suspected of grappling with depression leading up to the tragic incident.
“He was always sad and there were days I tried to ask what happened to him but he never spoke up. His face was always looking worried, tired, and depressed. He was such a nice man and I did not expect him to do something like that to himself.”
“Everyone is going through their phases in life but only if I could turn back the hands of time, I would have advised him to speak up instead of holding the pains and worries to himself. I guess the suicide is a result of keeping too much inside. May his soul rest in gentle and perfect peace.”
Another observer, known only as Bola, mentioned that he took his own life shortly after commencing work at a Chinese company. She also asserted that a bottle of Sniper was found beside him at the time of his death.
She said “The deceased was said to have confided in one of his sisters in whose apartment his lifeless body was found that he was fed up with life. The sister was said to have taken the statement with a pinch of salt because it was made shortly before he secured a job at a Chinese company in the area. I wish he had spoken up earlier. It would have been better and I am sure he would not have killed himself. I wish his soul gentle and perfect peace.”
Upon reaching out, Omolola Odutola, the Public Relations Officer for the state command, mentioned that the body would undergo a medical examination at Sagamu General Hospital.
Odutola said, “The corpse will be moved to the Sagamu General Hospital for a medical examination.”
