Confirming the incident, the state police Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, while speaking to newsmen on Monday said that the incident happened on Sunday at about 8pm.

A Nigerian man, simply identified as Benjamin, has committed suicide in the Agege area of Lagos State.

Confirming the incident, the state police Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, while speaking to newsmen on Monday said that the incident happened on Sunday at about 8pm.

The police said the elder brother of the deceased reported the incident at the Elere Police Station that his brother allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself to death in the store of their house.

 

“Officers of the division immediately visited the scene and the deceased was lowered and taken to the Orile-Agege General Hospital, where he was certified dead.

No mark of violence was found on the body of the deceased,” Hundeyin said.

 

 

 

According to him, the body had been removed from Oriole-Agee Hospital and deposited at Mainland Hospital, Yaba for autopsy.

 

 

 

He added that detectives were investigating the incident.

 

 

 

Two weeks ago, the Ogun State Police Command also confirmed the death of a 32-year-old man identified as Olúwaṣeun Shorinola, who reportedly committed suicide in the Kémta area of Abeokuta, the state capital.

The Public Relations Officer of the Command, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident in an electronic message on Thursday, said the incident happened around 10 pm on Wednesday.

 

 

 

The police spokesperson said Shorinola’s wife discovered him hanging from a wall in his home.

 

 

 

Odutola said on August 28, 2024, Temitope Oguntade reported to the Kémta Police Division that she had received a call from Tajudeen Aremu, informing her that her brother had been found dead by his wife.

A police team was dispatched to the scene, where they found Shorinola deceased, hanging from a wall, indicating a suicide. The body was removed from the hanging position.

 

 

 

“The family requested to take the body for burial rather than having it sent to the mortuary for an autopsy. The police are currently monitoring the situation,” Odutola said.
