 35-year-old commits suicide in Ogun


A 35-year-old man, identified as Emmanuel Urhobocha, has allegedly died by suicide in his apartment on Alafia Street in Sango-Ota, located in the Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.


The Ogun State Police Command informed Newsmen on Saturday that the incident took place around 9:00 a.m. on Friday.


This incident occurred just days after a 32-year-old man, Olúwaṣeun Shorinola, died by suicide in the Kémta area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on August 28, 2024.


The command’s spokesperson, Odutola Omolola, told PUNCH Online that the deceased’s roommate, identified as Obabiyi David, had gone to the Sango-Ota Police Division to report that his flatmate was acting irrationally.

“He (David) stated that Urhobocha was behaving oddly and even mentioned that the deceased had attacked him with a knife at one point. David sustained injuries but managed to escape the assault,” Odutola stated.


A team of policemen from the Sango-Ota division was dispatched to question Urhobocha regarding the alleged attack on his friend, but upon arrival, they found the room securely locked from the inside.


After several attempts to force the door open, the police finally gained entry and found the suspect lying lifeless, face down in the apartment, PUNCH Online learnt.


Odutola said, “He was discovered dead in the apartment, with a container of insecticide found next to his body.


“He was promptly transported to a local hospital for medical attention, but the attending doctor confirmed him dead. His body has been placed in the morgue for an autopsy, and the incident remains under investigation.”
