The Ekiti State police Command have commenced investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a middle-aged man identified as Tunde Akindunbi found dead under a mango tree in the Dallimore area of Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
It was gathered that the incident happened on Friday at midnight, 7 April, 2023.
The spokesman for State Police Command, DSP Sunday Abutu said confirmed the development, saying an investigation has commenced into the matter.
Abutu disclosed that two persons have been invited for questioning to assist the command with necessary information on the matter.
The cause of his death could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report but neighbours said the man was seen around 8pm on Friday.
Investigation further revealed that the deceased was found in a position that likely suggests that he committed suicide but some people claimed that the position was also suspicious, saying he was hanged on a tree with a rope.
It was alleged that he may have been killed and hanged to avoid any traces of his killers.
