The Ogun State Police Command on Friday, confirmed the death of one Oluwaseun Shorinola who committed suicide in the Kémta area of Abeokuta over economic hardship.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said the lifeless body of the 32-year-old man was seen by his wife hung on the wall of their house.
Odutola noted that the incident occurred at about 10 pm on Wednesday.
It was gathered that his death may have been caused by the current economic hardship facing the country.
Odutola said: “On August 28, 2024,
Temitope Oguntade reported at the Kémta Police Division that she had received a call from Tajudeen Aremu informing her that her brother had been found dead by his wife.”
“A police team was immediately dispatched to the scene, where they found Shorinola’s body hanging, confirming that he had taken his own life. The body was subsequently brought down”.
She added that the command is monitoring the situation as the family declined an autopsy and insisted on taking the corpse for burial.
