A yet to be identified middle-aged man has committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree at Iseyin, Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo State on wee hours of Sunday, 17th December, 2023.

The incident which happened beside St. Thomas Catholic School, Oja-Agbe, Iseyin-Abeokuta road caused pandemonium as residents rushed to the place to identify the man.

It was reliably gathered that the man was said to have complained to some friends on Wednesday about an accumulated debt caused by sports betting.

The dangling body of the man was still on the tree on Friday, which indicated that his members of family were yet to be informed.

As at the time of filling this report efforts to get more pieces of information from the Iseyin Divisional Police Authority proved abortive, as a close police source said the case was yet to be officially reported at the station.

END.
