Deputy Commissioner of Police Allegedly Commits Suicide in Ogbomoso

In a shocking turn of events, Deputy Commissioner of Police Gbolahan Olugbemi, attached to the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department (FCIID), was discovered deceased in his residence in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

Reports indicate that Olugbemi, who had previously served as an aide to former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, was found with a rope around his neck, suggesting a possible suicide.

While investigations are ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his death, sources suggest that it appears to be a case of suicide. According to reports, Olugbemi had returned home for Easter and was alone at the time of his demise in his residence on Petros Academy Street in the Federal Low-Cost neighborhood.

The late DCP Olugbemi, estimated to be around 50 years old, had served as the Aide de Camp to Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala during his tenure from 2006 to 2007. His sudden passing has left friends and family in mourning, with gatherings held to commemorate his life and legacy.

Neighbors recall Olugbemi as a reserved individual, often seen returning home with police protection. Despite residing in an exquisite mansion, he was rarely accompanied by family members, leading some to speculate about underlying issues such as depression, which he reportedly struggled with for some time.
