An Egba High Chief and the Promoter of the Abeokuta golf resort, Apagun Oluwole Olumide is dead.

The Apagun Pote of Egbaland and an associate of former governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel, allegedly committed suicide by drowning himself in an artificial lake located at the golf resort at about 10 p.m. on Friday.

The deceased was being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for his roles in the controversial Golf Resort hotel in Abeokuta, which has pitched the former governor and his associates against the Ogun state government.

The body of the late Chief was recovered about 12 hours after he allegedly plunged into the artificial lake by local divers assisted by men and officers of the Ogun state fire services.

One of the early callers at the scene of the incident was the former governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba who described the incident as “highly unfortunate”

Efforts to get the reaction of the newly posted Commissioner of police in the state, Ikemefuna Okoye proved abortive as he declined comment on the incident.

Kobojunkie: How can he die 'mysteriously' if it is alleged that he committed suicide? These titles na wa . . .

All the authorities need to is perform an autopsy to confirm cause of death at least. If im no kill imself then it was probably a homicide . . . nothing mysterious about that either.

andyanders: The guy must have been taken out of this country, just like Gloria Okon during Babaginda regime. Let them check properly to find out if truly he is the one that died. They can get a replica of him, kill him and drop into the lake and claim he is the one that died.

This country is full of shi-----t. People can act anything.Gbenga Daniel can do anything to make sure that he is not convicted. I know this must have been a plan by someone.
