A Graduate Of OAU Hangs Self Because His Fiancee’s Parents Refused Him To Marry Their Daugther

Adekunle Adebambo, a graduate of Architecture

from the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)

yesterday January 1, committed suicide by

hanging himself in an uncompleted storey

building.

According to PMNews, Adebambo’s body was found

around 1 a.m. yesterday dangling from a rope tied to

the hook of a fan in an uncompleted

storey building at 1, Alice Ogunsona Street, Hilltop

Estate, Eruwen, Ikorodu.

The deceased was found by his younger brother after

reading the suicide note he left in their sitting room.

He allegedly blamed his action on his girlfriend’s father

who refused to allow him marry his daughter.

A friend of the deceased disclosed that Bambo, as he

was fondly called, killed himself because his fiancee’s

father, who is from Ondo State, said his daughter

cannot marry him because he is an Ijebu man from

Ogun State.

Many of the sympathisers who gathered at his

residence found the excuse for his action difficult to

believe.

Efforts to speak with his fiancee proved abortive as she

refused to talk.

P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that

Adebambo, 30, studied Architecture at the Obafemi

Awolowo University (OAU) and did his national service

in Abia State. A resident of the Hilltop Estate, Ibrahim

Adeola, who said he participated in bringing down

Adebambo’s body from the ceiling, recalled that he was

dead and stiff when they brought him down.

“When the family raised an alarm and we came here, he

was already foaming in his mouth and his hand was

clenched in a fist. This signified that he struggled till he

died,” he said.
