The bereaved wife of the deceased, Muibat Ibitokun, stated that an undisclosed family problem had led them to take succor in a church where they had been sleeping in the last few months.
She said: “We’ve been sleeping in the church for some time now. But on Tuesday in the evening, he just decided that he was going home to sleep.
“But in the middle of the night, he rushed back to the church, shouting and banging the door. He asked for the whereabouts of the man who was fighting me. But I told him nobody was fighting me.
“He went back home. But some minutes later, some of our neighbours called me that my husband was shouting and running around that he was going to commit suicide and that nobody should dare stop him.”
Also speaking was the son of the deceased, Ayomide Ibitokun, who found his father’s death as shocking, adding that he was restless through the night of Tuesday, July 28, 2015.
