PUNCH Metro gathered that Otaiku killed himself after his woman told him she was no longer interested in the relationship.
After the girlfriend made a U-turn, the
deceased was said to have become worried, and this made neighbours, who
were aware of the development, to intervene. Efforts were made to
reconcile them.
On one of such occasions, an eyewitness
said the duo was invited to discuss in privacy inside a shop at Safari
junction in Onikolobo.
Otaiku was said to have hid a knife in his pocket, prepared to end it all if there was no truce.
It was further gathered that Olaogun stood her ground and maintained that she could not continue with the relationship.
On hearing this unfavourable verdict, the
deceased reportedly brought out the knife from his pocket which made
Olaogun to run out of the shop, thinking she was the target.
Olaogun was said to have immediately alerted neighbours who rushed into the shop and met the deceased stabbing himself.
He was said to have been rushed to the Mercy Hospital in the Panseke area of Abeokuta.
From there, he was referred to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, also in Abeokuta, but he died on the way to the hospital.
The case was said to have been reported at the Adigbe Police Division and policemen were sent to the scene for investigation.
While they took the remains of Otaiku to
the Ijaye General Hospital mortuary, three other people were whisked
away in a Hilux Van marked, NPF 7092 C.
The State Police Public Relations
Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, confirmed
the incident, adding that the police were still holding on to Otaiku’s
remains until a postmortem examination would be carried out.
Adejobi explained that the command was still examining the statements by the suspects and eyewitnesses.
