Posted by SaintOkocha on September 19, 2010 at 11:30pm
Residents of Basiri area of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, woke up in the morning of Saturday to behold the gory sight of a young man, who allegedly hung himself on the ceiling fan of a church in the area.The dangling body of the man, simply identified as Aderemi Ademosu, was said to have been discovered by some women who came to the church, called Alajahorah, to clean the premises in readiness for Sunday service.They were said to have raised the alarm, calling the attention of those in the neighbourhood to the tragic scene, while they immediately abandoned the premises.Some residents of the area, who suspected foul play, maintained that there was more than meets the eye in the death of Ademosu who was said to be between 19 and 21 in age.But it was learnt from an impeccable source that Ade-mosu, who had two elder brothers in Ado-Ekiti, had been in Ado-Ekiti from his Akure, Ondo State, base since about two weeks but decided to stay with a friend whose identity has not been ascertained.He was said to have visited one of his brothers, who resides around the area where Alajahorah church was located last Friday.Though, the Ekiti State police command is still investigating the circumstances that led to the youngster’s death, Nigerian Tribune gathered that the young man, who came to Ado Ekiti ostensibly to negotiate the possibility of taking a shot at another O’ level examination, had an altercation with his brother whom he visited on Friday night, and that, according to neighbours, the arguments related to the past of the younger Ademosu, which his brother threatened to disclose.Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Ekiti State, Mr. Mohammed Jimoh, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), who confirmed the suicide case, told the Nigerian Tribune that no foul play was suspected in the matter, though he maintained that men of the police command were still working on ways to unravel the matter completely.
