The Ogun State Police Command informed Newsmen earlier in the day 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 newsmen 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.
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.
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.
