The principal of Ijokodo Junior Secondary School 1, Ibadan, Oyo State
Mr Segun Dare, was on Wednesday, found dead along the street to his
home at Citaga area, Sango-Eleyele road, several hours after he didn't
turn up at home as expected.
Accordng to reports, Mr Dare, who left home the previous day, was
discovered face down in a gutter, with his mobile handset in his
pocket and a polythene bag containing soup ingredients like fish and
pepper beside him.
It was gathered that the deceased left his home in the afternoon of
Tuesday, September 3, to go to a first generation bank along
Sango-Eleyele road but could not do what he intended doing there as
hegot there late.
He was said to have attempted to use the influence of one of his
friends in the bank but was unsuccessful as the friend told him he
could not help.
Mr Dare reportedly called his wife and told her that he did not
achieve his objective, informing her that he was returning home
immediately.
A reliable source who spoke under the condition of anonymity said the
man did not turn up at home as he promised, and when it was about 40
minutes after, his wife called his number to know his whereabouts.
To her surprise, a strange voice answered the call, telling her to get
off the line as her husband was busy and would call her later.
Not too long after, the voice called to inform her that she could call
her husband if she wished but her attempts at speaking with the
deceased failed as her calls went unanswered.
The wife was said to have raised a search party which went round
without locating the principal until late into Tuesday night.
The search party continued the following morning when his body was discovered.
Since the discovery of the principal's body, there had been
speculations that he was probably killed by some hoodlums who had been
going to the school compound to smoke Indian hemp.
