It was reported that DCP Oyedemi had traveled from Lagos to his hometown of Ogbomoso to partake in the Easter celebrations.

The joyous occasion, however, took a tragic turn when sources revealed to Leadership Newspaper that his lifeless body was discovered on Monday.

Circumstances of Passing

The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under speculation, with early reports suggesting the possibility of suicide.
