A man identified as Fatai Hamzat has taken his own life in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Hamzat reportedly hanged himself in his apartment on Oremeji Street, Ijeun Tuntun on Friday morning, November 29, 2024.
Neighbours discovered Hamzat’s body around 7am.
“I had just returned from church when I noticed Azeez’s motorcycle parked in the compound. I went to check on him, but his door was locked from the inside,” a neighbour told the police.
After repeated knocking with no response from Hamzat, neighbours forced open a window.
Inside the apartment, they allegedly found Hamzat’s body hanging from a rope tied to the ceiling fan.
The Ogun State police command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident stating that the body was taken to a nearby hospital morgue for an autopsy.
“The deceased was found hanging in his apartment after several attempts to reach him failed. An investigation into the incident is ongoing,” Odutola added.
