Oluwagbemileke was said
to have killed himself a day after making the controversial statement on his Facebook wall.
It had been alleged that
the deceased swallowed a poisonous substance, which led to his death.
Oluwagbemileke, writing on his Facebook
page a day before the suicide, appealed to people to stand by his mother. He
was buried on Saturday in Lagos.
Oluwagbemileke further wrote:
“When man’s life is unstable, worried, downcast and destabilized, things he
does right before, will become wrong, no matter the best he put. Such a person
lost focus and strength, become unhappy and angry at everything even if he
tries to wear a smiling face the thought of death will come in the scene.”
The deceased’s mother
felt that her son committed suicide because he was being pressured by his boss,
to fix a car which he damaged.
Oluwagbemileke used to
work in a sachet water factory, in order to augment his school fees. The mother
claimed that the boss repeatedly threatened to sack Oluwagbemileke if he didn’t
fix the car.
The mother said that
Oluwagbemileke had appealed to the company to pardon him about the damaged car,
that he did not damage it intentionally.
The distraught mother,
who lives in Osogbo, Osun State, said her son, who is studying Electrical
Electronic, took up the sachet water job in order to survive and take care of her.
The woman further said:
“When he was schooling in Lagos, he always complained to me of what he did to
take care of himself in school. I also used to send the little I had to him. He
was the person that financed himself through school. He was an easygoing
person. I so much relied on him, that he would be the one that would take of us
and bring us out of poverty. But I have accepted my fate.”
One of the deceased’s
friends, Lammy Olamide, who wrote on the deceased’s Facebook wall, said: “If you can’t stand by your mother, then
who should? And if truly you love her, you wouldn’t take your life. May God
forgive you of your sins and have mercy on you.”
