A student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), has been found dead in his off-campus apartment in what is believed to be a case of suicide.
The deceased, identified as Audi Emmanuel, was discovered hanging from a rope in his room. By the time neighbours forced the door open, his body had already begun to emit a foul smell.
The incident happened along Awolowo Road, Emure-Ile, in the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, and has left fellow students and residents in shock.
According to neighbours, they noticed a persistent bad odour coming from Emmanuel’s room and, after several unsuccessful attempts to reach him, decided to break in.
One neighbour explained, “We found Emmanuel’s body hanging inside his rented apartment. The stench was overwhelming. Nobody knows what led him to take such a step. There was no suicide note that we could find. We immediately called the police, and they came to remove the body.”
Confirming the incident, the Ondo State Police Command’s spokesperson, Abayomi Jimoh, said officers were quickly deployed to the scene. The body has since been recovered and taken to a morgue, where an autopsy will be conducted.
