Tragedy struck in Abeokuta, Ogun State, as a man identified as Fatai Hamzat was discovered dead in an apparent case of suicide. The Ogun State Police Command confirmed the incident, stating that Hamzat’s body was found early Friday morning.
According to a neighbor who requested anonymity, the discovery was made after noticing Hamzat’s motorcycle parked in the compound. Concerned by his absence, the neighbor attempted to reach him but found his door locked from the inside.
