The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Ponyan Ward, in the Yagba East Local Government Area, Kogi State, Bunmi David Ipinnaiye is dead.
He died after committing suicide in a Civil Defence cell.
He was arrested by officers and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), for the attempted murder of his son who was said to be fraternizing with some boys, who are allegedly involved in social vices.
Our Reporter gathered that the deceased had attacked his son with a matchet on their way to the farm and the incident was reported to the Civil Defence, which led to his arrest.
Sources who spoke under anonymity said upon interrogation, the Late APC Chairman refused to respond to questions, and was left in one of the rooms in the security outfit office.
When the officers returned to resume interrogation, he was found dead, after using his belt to commit suicide by hanging himself.
The effort to confirm the incident from the Public Relations Officer of Kogi State Command of the NSCDC proved abortive, as his phone was switched off.
