Too Sad: Student Of Ibadan Polytechnic Commits Suicide (Photo)

A part-time student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State,
Timilehin Ayobami Ogundare has been found dead in his
room at Ilupeju area, Baasala, Asero, Abeokuta, Ogun State
in western Nigeria.

He was believed to have committed suicide by hanging
himself. P.M.NEWS also gathered that the deceased was a
computer operator with a firm, Blueprint Music Studio in
Abeokuta, before his death.

A family source who did not want his name in print disclosed
that the deceased tried to kill himself last year but was
stopped by some people.

The relation revealed that the deceased was arrested by some
security guards and handed over to men of the state vigilance
service when he attempted to jump into River Ogun. He was
later released.

"The whole issue is still like a drama because I don't know
what could have made him decide to take his life. We have
been looking for him since January 1. Later, we heard that he
went to Lagos. He boarded a train from Lagos back to
Abeokuta on Saturday and came down at Lafenwa.

He trekked from the station through Enu Gada area to Ajitaadun down to Arakanga area with the aim of
jumping into the river.

"He was arrested by the security men in the area when they
saw him wandering with only his boxer pant on. They handed
him over to the Vigilante men at Oke Ilewo for further
investigation. We went there to collect him and we were told
to come back with him yesterday.

On getting to his room, we found out that he had hanged himself. He left a short note, apologising that he disappointed us," the source narrated in tears.
