  • Man commits suicide in church premises.
  • 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.
    Reportnaija learnt that members of the church
    who converged for the morning prayers
    discovered the corpse of the deceased where
    he allegedly hung himself.
    When reportnaija crew visited 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."
