A 33-year-old-man, Oluwatosin Otaiku, last weekend,
allegedly stabbed himself to death over
disagreement with his fiancee, identified as Olaogun Oluwatoyin.
Vanguard gathered that the deceased decided to kill himself
few weeks after he was told by his
girlfriend that she was no more interested in the relationship.
It was further gathered that the deceased’s neighbours, who
were aware of the development, reportedly
called the warring parties to break the
truce and resolve the disagreement.
An eyewitness had it that the duo were made to discuss in
privacy inside a shop at Safari junction in Onikolobo not suspecting that the
deceased came to the venue with a knife in case the outcome went against him.
It was further gathered that Oluwatoyin stood her ground, maintaining that she couldn’t continue with the relationship.
The deceased reportedly brought out the knife which forced
Olaogun to storm out of the shop thinking she was the target.
Olaogun immediately alerted neighbours who rushed to the
scene and met the deceased stabbing himself.
He was rushed to Mercy Hospital, Panseke before he was later
referred to Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Idi-Aba in Abeokuta but he died on the way to the hospital.
Policemen from Adigbe Division, who were drafted to the
scene for investigation, took the remains of Otaiku to State Hospital, Ijaye
and whisked three persons away in an
Hilux van marked NPF 7092 C.
Reacting to the incident, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that the police were still holding Olaogun until a postmortem
examination is carried out on the deceased.
Adejobi explained
that the command was still examining the statements by the suspects and
eyewitnesses.
He said: “The lady is still with us, she is still our
suspect for now until we carried out a proper investigation on the corpse. We
need some time to study the statements but the expert’s opinion is to carry out
a postmortem on the body.”
