A driver attached
to Ondo State lawmaker, Kele Bolodeoku, Thursday morning committed
suicide by hanging himself in his room at Fanibi layout of Akure
metropolis, the state police command, said.

The driver, Dayo
Jumiju, from Irele Local Government Area of the state, was said to be
hale and hearty the previous day. He was said to have parted ways with
his boss with a promise to return to duty the following day to carry
his boss to the Assembly for a session in honour of late Umaru Yar’Adua.

The family of the deceased did not allow journalists to photograph the body of the late driver, whose body had been lowered.

Spokesperson of the state police command, Adeniran Aremu, said that an investigation into the tragedy had commenced.

“It is true that Mr
Bolodeoku’s driver hanged himself in the early hours of Thursday and
the State Police Command has swung into action to know the circumstance
surrounding the death of the driver,” he said.

Mr Aremu assured
that the command would let the whole world know what led to the death
of the driver as soon as the investigation into the matter is completed.

The lawmaker, colleagues said, was in a state of disbelief when he was told of the incident.

Mr Bolodeoku, who represents Ese Odo State Constituency, could not be reached on phone for further comment.
