A
67-year-old church guard identified as Matthew Isidahume, yesterday,
reportedly committed suicide with his lifeless body found dangling within
the premises of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Gbagura, Ago- Oka, in
Abeokuta North Local Government of Ogun State.
It was learnt that members of the church who
converged for the morning prayers discovered the corpse of the deceased where
he allegedly hung himself.
On a visit
to the scene, men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and some
policemen were seen at the place.
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa
Adejobi, who confirmed the incident said three guards were supposed
to be on duty when the incident happened.
Adejobi said: “The deceased left a suicide note which is
currently assisting us in our investigation, but the command will do a thorough
job toward getting to the bottom of the matter.”
However, a member of the church council, who identified
himself as Adekunle Adegoke, said the deceased was the church’s night-guard,
adding that those who came for the morning prayer meeting met the gate locked
and waited for about 30 minutes thinking the late Matthew was busy.
He said: “When there was no trace of him, the people decided to
push a small boy across the fence and the boy later returned with the sad
news that Matthew had hung himself.
“Really, if you see him, the first thought will be that there was
a sort of complex issue, probably there is a foul play. But looking closely you
will see his footprints on the generator which showed that he climbed, tied something
on his neck and then jumped.”

ReplyDeleteIts a simple matter, He was murdered and they want us to think He hung himself. The other two fellow security guards should be brought in for questioning. I suspect foul play.
