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.
