Gbolahan Oyedemi, a Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Force Criminal and Investigation Department in Alagbon, Lagos State, allegedly committed himself on Monday in his private residence in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
Platinum Times reports that Oyedemi was the Aide de Camp to the late former Governor of the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, during his 11-month tenure as defacto governor in 2006.
A source close to the family told our correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday in Ibadan, the state capital, that Oyedemi, who normally visited his hometown during the Easter celebrations, told his aides at the weekend to go to their various towns to celebrate with their family members.
The source said, “Yes, he committed suicide. His body was found hanging in his house yesterday (Monday). He stays alone, and he normally comes home for Easter celebrations.
