Deputy police commissioner commits suicide in Oyo

A Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) serving with the Force Criminal and Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos State, Gbolahan Oyedemi, has committed suicide in his house in his hometown in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

It was gathered that the DCP committed suicide on Monday, April 1, 2024.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police who always visited his hometown during the Easter celebrations was said to have told his aides at the weekend to go to their various towns to celebrate with their family members.

“His body was found hanging in his house on Monday. He stays alone and he normally comes home for Easter celebrations.

“This time, he told his aides to go and celebrate with their family members in their various homes. Only God knows what could have prompted him to commit suicide,” a source close to Oyedemi’s family disclosed on Tuesday.

His death was confirmed by the FCID spokesperson, Mayegun Oluwakemi.

Oluwakemi, however, said she has no information about the cause of the DCP’s death.

Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command has yet to speak on Oyedemi’s demise as of press time.

Oyedemi was the Aide de Camp to the late former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, during his 11-month tenure as defacto governor in 2006.
