The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ponyan Ward in Yagba East Local Government Area, Bunmi David Ipinnaiye was said to have committed suicide in Civil Defence cell.
Ipinnaiye was said have been arrested by officers and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for attempted murder of his son who was said to be fraternizing with some boys allegedly involved in social vices.
Our correspondent gathered that the deceased allegedly attacked his son with a matchet on their way to the farm and the incident was reported to the Civil Defence which led to his arrest.
Sources who spoke to our repoter under the condition of anonymity said upon interrogation, the Late APC Chairman allegedly refused to respond to questions and was left in one of the rooms in the Security outfit office.
When the Officers returned to resume interrogation, he was found dead after using his belt to commit sucide by hanging himself.
Efforts to confirm the incident from the Public Relations Officer of the State Command of NSCDC did not yield fruitful results as at the time of going to the Press.
