Firstclass newsline learnt that there was tension and anxietyt at the
Oke Onitea area of Osogbo, Osun State, on Tuesday following the
discovery of the remains of a 27-year- old man, Adekola Busari, who
had hanged himself.

bank, but his wife had assisted him to repay the loan.
The debt remained N 18,000 to be paid when the man took his life.

her husband dangling inside their sitting room when she went to
urinate in the morning.

show any sign that he would kill himself.
She said, "My husband went out to watch a football match last night
and stayed till 11pm and when he came back home, I bought the food he
ate. We chatted, prayed and went to bed without any indication that he
was planning anything.
"Though he was in debt, I have been paying the debt for the loan he
took from a micro finance bank. So I don't understand why he killed
himself.
"I woke up to urinate and discovered that the wrapper that I used to
cover our two year-old child was missing, only to find out that it was
the wrapper that my husband used to hang himself."
The Divisional Officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence
Corps, in Olorunda Local Government Area, Mr. Babatunde Ojeniyi,
confirmed the incident to a source on the telephone.
He said, "We have informed the Water and Environmental Department at
the local government area, which is responsible for removing the
corpse. But we were told that certain traditional rites would be
performed before the body could be taken down."
