19-year-old commits suicide in Osun

A 19-year-old student has committed suicide at the weekend.

The Osun State Police Command said it is investigating the events that led to the suicide, in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday.

The teenager, a student of Ipetu-Ijesa College of Technology, was found dead in Ilesa.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, SP Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed the incident, in Osogbo, the state capital, said the victim, Olonade Tomiwa, was found dead in the compound with a telephone cable.

The PPRO said the tragic event was reported at Ilesa ‘A’ Division by a youth leader in the town who identified himself as Agboola Olusola.

The police, in their preliminary investigation, said there was no mark of violence on the body of the deceased.

Opalola said the police took photographs of the scene and the corpse was deposited at Wesley Guild Hospital mortuary in Ilesa.

She said the command has continued to dig deep into the genesis of the event.

Only on Saturday, there was confusion at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, in Anambra State, after three undergraduate students were found dead in their hostel.
