Ms. Oluwafemi who used to reside in Bembo, Apata area of Ibadan, was said to
have gone to spend the weekend with her first child, Opeyemi Oluwafemi, in
Olugbode, Odo-Ona area of the town before the calamity. On Friday night, Mr. Oluwafemi attended a
church vigil. At the break of dawn, he returned home and found that his mother
was
missing.
“I return home from vigil
and discovered her absence at home, hence, a report of her missing was made
known to the police, but three days later after a search party, we discovered
her corpse hanging on the tree here,” he said.
Mr. Oluwafemi and other
members of his family immediately organized a search party and reported the
missing case to the police. But on Monday, the woman
was found dead having hung herself on a tree.
The deceased’s son, Mr.
Olufemi, said his mother never showed any sign that she will kill herself.
Another relative, Caroline
Ayodele, who wept profusely also expressed shock over the development, adding
that there did not seem to be a reason for late Ms.
Oluwafemi to have
committed suicide.
At the scene of the
suicide, efforts were being made by some plain clothes policemen to bring down
the corpse. Also many residents were
seen trooping to the scene in order to catch a glimpse of the corpse
