SHOCKING: 20-Year-Old Boy Found Hanging In His Mother’s Kitchen

The police in Okitipupa,
Ondo State, are trying to
unravel the mystery
surrounding the death of
a 20-year old boy found
hanging in his mother's kitchen.
According to reports, the police want to
determine whether the boy, Wale Lijoka,
committed suicide or was murdered.
Lijoka was found yesterday in a room at
No. 2, Olanusi Avenue, a close between
Okeloro and Lebi streets in Okitipupa.
The body of the deceased was found
dangling from the ceiling of his mother's
kitchen.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs. Moyin
Lijoka, said that the deceased could not
have hanged himself, alleging that his
death was a conspiracy of friends he had
misunderstanding with.
She said the boy, who was an aluminium
construction apprentice in Lagos, came
to Okitipupa on August 18, 2013, to visit
her. "I called him on Tuesday evening to
follow me to the church for prayers but
he refused, only for me to wake up this
morning to find his corpse in my kitchen.
"He could not have killed himself; I
believe some assailants killed him and
hanged him in my kitchen just to cover-
up because his legs are not far from the
ground. I have called his father, who is a
police officer in Ilorin and he said he
doesn't want to have any issue with the
boy's death, that we should do what
pleases us,'' Lijoka said.
Meanwhile, a sympathiser, who
preferred to be addressed simply as,
Mrs. Ajoke, also corroborated the
mother's claim that the boy could not
have killed himself. "I saw him when he
came home but I don't know if he
quarrelled with anyone. From what I
observed his body might have been
dumped here and made to look like
suicide,'' Ajoke said.
