My sọn was murdered, he did not commit suicide – bereaved mother cries out


Mother ot the 19yr old student of Ipetu-Ijesa Polytechnic, Tomiwa who was found dead at the backyard of his mother’s rented apartment with a NITEL cable around his  neck says her son did not commit suicide, but murdered.

On her Facebook Timeline,  Elemese Olubunmi said her son’s purported suicide was stage managed, calling on security agencies to dig beyond the surface to unravel circumstance surrounding his death

“With heavy heart and extreme pains I am writing this , to set the record straight and to also cry to Nigerians to come to my aid , especially Nigerian Police. How will Tomiwa commit suicide,  I have been raising the 2 of them alone since when he was 5years old, and I decided not to get marry again, so I can take care of them properly , I am not a lazy woman, I work every day , ply ibadan to ilesa many times in a week as a trader and God has been helping me to provide for their needs “. She narrated.

According to Olubunmi, Tomiwa
was a brilliant and easy going boy, who did not love  keeping friends.
” He likes indoor browsing more than keeping friends . He was not lacking in schools. He was not hungry . 
I sent pocket money to  him a day to his death.  And he told me that he  wanted to come home and pick his   laptop computer preparatory to his exams which is scheduled to commence on 22 of September,
but I was in a 3-day  program, so  I told him to come on Saturday, so I can have time for him,we both agreed that when i gets to Ikire,  he too will leave ipetu around 2pm, so we will meet at the  same time in Ilesa,, But to my surprise , he got home before me “.

She said Tomiwa did not lack anything on campus as her elder sister with whom he often  spent his holidays always supported  him financially.
” my elder sister pays for him with ease, he spends most of his holiday with her in Ondo.  My Dad also gives him whatever he needs, so also my other siblings, why will he commit suicide?”

The bereaved mother also wrote that his murdered son neither dropped any suicide note, nor gave any warning or sent distress messages.

” He has not even entered the apartment. He had the spare key, why would  he hang outside our room and leave his bags and shoes outside ?
If he has any reasons to commit suicide,  why didn’t he do it in school?
There are lots of trees around his school and Hostel that he could have used . He was on kneeling position, begging the killer with tears rolling down his cheeks, mouth foaming,
the   throat was strangled  and was not dangling “.

” No table , No suspender.
Why would  he choose  backyard window when we have fans and table he could use inside ? How can Nitel rope kill someone ? 
The distance of the window to the floor is not enough to hang him with his height. They now tied roap on window and  around his neck as if he committed suicide”

She wants to know who  wiped  all the  call  logs, and sms messages on his phone.

“He came home by himself joyfully, greeted everyone usually like he used to do. We lives in house where more than 20 people comes daily,  it’s amazing how he was killed with no one knowledge.  Even if he commits suicide , he must have cried and screamed at the last point of his death, so painful no one came to his rescue. Could it be he was trailed from school ? If yes, how did they escaped in such environment.
He never complained about his school to me, except for the time he insisted he wanted to live alone, I rushed down to his school and spent time to get him his personal  accommodation,  and at point of making payment he told me not to worry about again as he decided to squat  with his friends”.

She called Nigerians to ensure justice for her so  who she said had no reasons whatsoever  to commit suicide. .
