Members of the church who converged for the morning prayers, it was learnt, discovered the corpse of the 67-year-old, where he allegedly hung himself.
Ogun
state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the
incident said three guards were supposed to be on duty when the incident
happened.
“The
deceased left a suicide note which is currently assisting us in our
investigation, but the command will do a thorough job toward getting to the
bottom of the matter.”
However,
a member of the church council, who identified himself as Adekunle Adegoke,
said the deceased was the church’s night-guard, adding that those who came for
the morning prayer meeting met the gate locked and waited for about 30 minutes
thinking the late Matthew was busy.
He
said: “When there was no trace of him, the people decided to push a small boy
across the fence and the boy later returned with the sad news that Matthew had
hung himself.
“Really,
if you see him, the first thought will be that there was a sort of complex
issue, probably there is a foul play. But looking closely you will see his
footprints on the generator which showed that he climbed, tied something on his
neck and then jumped.”
