A man identified as Dolapo Augustine Awolola, left behind a heart-wrenching final note before he committed su!cide in Ekiti State.
Awolola’s lifeless body was discovered inside a classroom at Iworoko Community High School in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
According to security analyst, Zagazola Makama, the tragedy unfolded on July 15 when a school security guard, Mr. Sunday Salami, found Awolola lying face-up, motionless, dressed in the white garment of the Celestial Church of Christ and a gold-plated necklace around his neck.
Inside his pocket, alongside a black purse and Android phone, was the suicide note.
In the note, Awolola wrote that he was accused of stealing N3.8 million, an allegation he insisted was false.
He said the weight of judgment, not just from strangers but from those closest to him his own family and his church, became too much to bear.
“I have nothing left. My family abandoned me. My church disowned me. They said I stole N3.8 million something I know nothing about,” the suicide note reads.
“Even my own people refused to hear me. My church turned their back on me. I can’t survive this disgrace. I don’t want to continue in a world where my name is already destroyed.”
No signs of physical violence were observed on his body, according to the preliminary assessment by police operatives who arrived the scene and later evacuated the corpse to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital morgue for autopsy.
He chose a school, a place of learning, as the final chapter of his life, perhaps hoping that his death would teach a lesson his life couldn’t.
The family of the deceased has been contacted, and investigations are ongoing to unravel the circumstances that led to his tragic end.
