OAU Graduate Hangs Himself On New Year Day
Over Fiancee's Father Rejection Of Marriage
The town of Ikorodu is still mourning the loss of
Ogunsona Daniel Adekunle Adebambo who
committed suicide in an uncompleted building in his
area on New Year day.
The suicide is coming on the heels of the controversy
surrounding the death of a mother of two, Mrs.
Ibironke Sanni, 31, who allegedly committed suicide
two weeks ago by gulping Sniper insecticide in
Sholebo Estate, Ikorodu, over her husband's alleged
infidelity.
The body of Adebambo was found around 1 a.m.
yesterday dangling from a rope tied to the hook of a
fan in an uncompleted storey building at 1, Alice
Ogunsona Street, Hilltop Estate, Eruwen, Ikorodu.
P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that Adebambo,
30, studied Architecture at the Obafemi Awolowo
University (OAU) and did his national service in Abia
State.
The deceased was found by his younger brother after
reading the suicide note he left in their sitting room.
He allegedly blamed his action on his girlfriend's
father who refused to allow him marry his daughter.
A friend of the deceased disclosed that Bambo, as he
was fondly called, killed himself because his fiancee's
father, who is from Ondo State, said his daughter
cannot marry him because he is an Ijebu man from
Ogun State.
Many of the sympathisers who gathered at his
residence found the excuse for his action difficult to
believe.
Efforts to speak with his fiancee proved abortive as
she refused to talk.
The atmosphere at the residence of the deceased in
Eruwen was gloomy as family members, friends and
neighbours wore sombre look. Two ladies found
leaving the compound lamented the death of the
man and disagreed with the note he purportedly left
stating the reason for taking his life.
Efforts to speak with his brother and other family
members were also unsuccessfual as they refused to
talk to our reporter.
They threatened to send the reporter out of the
compound and confiscate his midget and camera.
A resident of the Hilltop Estate, Ibrahim Adeola, who
said he participated in bringing down Adebambo's
body from the ceiling, recalled that he was dead and
stiff when they brought him down.
"When the family raised an alarm and we came here,
he was already foaming in his mouth and his hand
was clenched in a fist. This signified that he
struggled till he died," he said.
