The Osun State Police Command has commenced investigations into the mysterious death of a young woman, identified as Bidemi Omole, who died shortly after visiting her boyfriend’s residence in Esa-Oke town.
Bidemi was said to have arrived at the home of her lover, identified as Yinka, on Friday evening before she suddenly fell ill.
Witnesses told reporters that the incident occurred around 9:30 pm and threw the Oke Esa community into confusion, as residents trooped to the scene.
A neighbour, Taye, who recounted the incident, said the deceased had only just arrived at the house before tragedy struck. “We heard the cry for help and rushed to the house. Before I got there, security operatives had already arrived, but the crowd was much. It was shocking because she usually goes for vigil on Fridays,” Taye said.
Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abiodun Ojelabi, explained that the matter was reported on Saturday.
According to him, the deceased started vomiting not long after getting to Yinka’s house.
“She was rushed to a hospital but died on the way. The boyfriend, Yinka, is already in police custody. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of her death,” Ojelabi said.
