School Principal Found Dead In A Gutter In Ibadan

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.
