Deputy Police Commissioner Commits Suicide In Oyo

Deputy police commissioner has committed suicide in Oyo.

 

Glamtush reports that 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.

Oyedemi, who previously served as the Aide de Camp to the late former Governor of the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, during his tenure in 2006, was found hanging in his house on Monday.

 

According to a source close to the family, Oyedemi, who usually visited his hometown during Easter celebrations, had instructed his aides to go to their respective towns to celebrate with their families over the weekend.

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.

However, when contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of FCID, Alagbon, DSP Eguaoje Funmilayo, confirmed Oyedemi’s death.

Funmilayo further said the circumstances surrounding his death were still sketchy.

“No one can tell specifically what the cause of his death is until an investigation is carried out. There is no official statement from the Inspector General of Police yet.

“So, I won’t be able to tell you anything about it for now. No official statement is approved by the IG,” she added.
