A 20-year-old Computer Engineering student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, popularly known as RUGIPO, has been found dead in his apartment after allegedly taking his own life.
The deceased, identified as Audi Emmanuel, was discovered hanging from a rope inside his rented apartment located along Awolowo Road, Emure-Ile, in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Residents of the area were thrown into shock after neighbours noticed a strong offensive odour coming from his room and decided to force the door open.
According to one of the neighbours, repeated attempts to reach Emmanuel had failed before they made the decision to break into the apartment.
Upon entering, they found his lifeless body dangling from a rope. The incident was immediately reported to the police, who arrived at the scene and evacuated the corpse.
