The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, disclosed this to Punch Online in a WhatsApp conversation on Sunday.
According to Odutola, the son of the deceased raised the alarm after returning from a church service and finding his mother reportedly hanged with a rope from the ceiling fan in her room.
She added that upon receiving the report, police officers from the Ibafo Division visited the scene where the body of the deceased was found.
She further disclosed that when the room was searched, no suicide note was found.
Odutola stated, “According to the son, he came back from the church at about 1530 hours and discovered that his mother, one Mrs Idowu Victoria, ‘F’, aged 49 years of the same address, had committed suicide by hanging herself on the ceiling fan inside her room.
“The DPO immediately drafted men to the scene. No suicide note was found.”
The PPRO disclosed further that an investigation has commenced to unravel the circumstances behind the incident.
She, however, urged members of the public to always provide support to their loved ones who may be suffering from mental health challenges.
“Meanwhile, the investigation is still ongoing to unravel the circumstances behind the sad incident. Suicide is unlawful.
“Sufferers of mental health need more support from family members to prevent such fatality,” she concluded.
