THE principal of Ijokodo Junior Secondary School 1, Ibadan, Oyo State Mr Segun Dare, was on Wednesday, found dead along the street to his home at Citaga area, Sango-Eleyele road, several hours after he didn’t turn up at home as expected.
Mr Dare, who left home in the evening of the previous day, was discovered face down in a gutter, with his mobile handset in his pocket while a polythene bag containing soup ingredients like fish and pepper was also found beside him.

Saturday Tribune gathered that the deceased left his home in the afternoon of Tuesday, September 3, to go to a first generation bank along Sango-Eleyele road but could not do what he intended doing there as he got there late.
He was said to have attempted to use the influence of one of his friends in the bank but was unsuccessful as the friend told him he could not help.
Mr Dare reportedly called his wife and told her that he did not achieve his objective, informing her that he was returning home immediately.
A reliable source who spoke with Saturday Tribune under the condition of anonymity said the man did not turn up at home as he promised, and when it was about 40 minutes after, his wife called his number to know his whereabouts.
To her surprise, a strange voice answered the call, telling her to get off the line as her husband was busy and would call her later.
Not too long after, the voice called to inform her that she could call her husband if she wished but her attempts at speaking with the deceased failed as her calls went unanswered.
The wife was said to have raised a search party which went round without locating the principal until late into Tuesday night.
The search party continued the following morning when his body was discovered.
Since the discovery of the principal’s body, there had been speculations that he was probably killed by some hoodlums who had been going to the school compound to smoke Indian hemp.
