Mubi Killings: Let’s Tell The World Our Bitter Story

PEMBI STEPHEN-DAVID and MUAZU ABARI

Worried by the various interpretations given to the killings of over 40 people, the authorities of the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa State, have formally written to President Goodluck Jonathan seeking his permission to make public their findings.
In the aftermath of the killings on Monday last week, the top management of the institution met and resolved to write the letter which was routed through the office of the minister of education.
A copy of the letter according to LEADERSHIP SUNDAY findings reads in part: “The incident that occurred in Mubi is not hooliganism and it is not cultism, neither is it linked to the post Students Union Government (SUG) election violence.
“From the school’s findings, six students of the institution were killed and four were injured. More so, the incident occurred outside the school and those who committed the act are not students as widely reported in the media.”
The letter, which was signed by the rector of the Polytechnic, Dr. Sadiq Girei, and dated October 4, 2012, LEADERSHIP SUNDAY learnt, also solicited the permission of the Ministry of Education “to make public the findings of the institution”.
The school authorities, according to the letter, are stating that the scene of the attack was at the ‘students’ village’, some 2 kilometres away from its campus, which also hosted students from other institutions.
They also informed the federal authorities that the gunmen used sophisticated weapons during the attack.
Even as the institution is counting its losses, the Non-Academic Senior Staff Union of Polytechnics has decried the inability of the governor of Adamawa State, Admiral Muritala Nyako (retd), to personally visit the institution after the massacre.
Its national president, Reverend Sunday Sabo told LEADERSHIP SUNDAY: “It is sad that the governor of Adamawa State, Admiral Murtala Nyako, as the host governor has not done well as he did not visit the school, but only sent his deputy, Barr. Bala Ngalari, on Thursday, three days  after the incident, while the governors of Akwa Ibom, Gombe and Taraba states sent buses to evacuate their indigenes. These governors must be commended for their quick response.”
Last Monday, unidentified gunmen attacked locations in Mubi town where some students of tertiary institutions sited in the town reside and killed about 40 persons, while an unspecified number were wounded.
Police said it had made arrests of some persons following the attack.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, have expressed  concern over the activities of some miscreants who always trespassed into the school through illegal routes to harass students and engaged in smoking and selling of marijuana or ‘Indian hemp,’ among other illegal acts, within the school campus. These acts, the school said, have been threatening the peaceful academic environment of the institution.
Addressing journalists yesterday in his office, the rector of the polytechnic, Prof. Bobboi Umar, blamed some hoodlums residing close to the school as being responsible for terrorising the students. According to him, several of them were arrested in the past and handed over to the police, but they continued with their illegal acts.
The rector, however, challenged the police to bring the culprits to book.
He said that the institution had written several letters to the police authorities in the past, all to no avail, pointing out that the institution had taken several security measures to checkmate the activities of the hoodlums without any positive result.
2 Dead, 8 Injured As Explosion Rocks Taraba
A bomb explosion yesterday rocked an area in Gindin Doruwa along Abubakar Barde Road, near a state television studio in Jalingo, Taraba State.
Though the details of the blast were sketchy as at press time, two people were feared dead while eight people were said to have been injured during the explosion.
The blast reportedly occurred in an area known for trade in locally brewed beer, Burukutu
It was the second blast in Jalingo in two days as a blast at an outdoor bar had killed at least one person and wounded 14 people on Thursday.
Reuters also reports that the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman Yushua Shuaib said by text message that a woman and five children were among the wounded, alongside two others.
Witnesses said at least two people died in the blast while several others received injuries.

Reps back NJC to recall Salami

House of Representatives members have affirmed that the power to reinstate the embattled and suspended President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Isa Ayo Salami rests on the shoulders of the National Judicial Council not President Goodluck Jonathan.
The lawmakers also kicked against the move by president Jonathan to elongate the tenure of the acting PCA, Mr. Dalhatu Adamu, asserting that it contravenes the 1999 Constitution.
Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, maintained that the Judicial council was correct on its stand.
He said, “NJC is absolutely correct. The President is precluded under the provisions of the constitution from further extending the appointment of the appeal court chief justice as he purports to do,” he said.
Also reacting, Mr. Sampson Osagie, the Minority Whip of the House, has urged the NJC to go ahead and recall the suspended Salami, stressing “there is no provision legally for an acting PCA after three months.”
Osagie disclosed that the appropriate thing to do was to recall Salami with immediate effect since there’s no legal backing for an extension of the tenure beyond three month.
Osagie said, “The NJC should go ahead and do the right thing because it was the NJC that kick-started the whole process in the first place.
“The NJC should take this debate over who has the power or no power out of the public domain because it does not portray the judiciary in good light.”
The Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Mr. Aminu Shagari, on his part said that since that matter has already been settled in court, he advised that the judgment should be obeyed.
“There is a court judgement on the issue already. The court is the final arbiter on any dispute; so, the law should be obeyed,” he stated.
It will be recalled that the NJC earlier in August 2011 had written Jonathan to approve Salami’s suspension, which the President immediately conformed with.
However, the council wrote Jonathan to lift suspension, but the President withheld his approval, which sparked controversy among the lawmakers who insisted that they would no longer wait for Mr. president to approve Salami’s reinstatement.

DailyPost Editorial: Murder of UNIPORT students: Questions Aluu Community must answer

“How much is life worth in Nigeria?” was the question the publisher of DailyPost asked, when some pictures were sent to our news desk from the scene of the gruesome murder of three students of the University of Port Harcourt, namely Ugonna, Tekana and Chidiaka.
No. They were not Boko Haram militants and they were not suicide bombers either. If you care to know, they were also not armed, and they didn’t kill or harm anybody. Aside the sketchy information we got that they stole a laptop and a phone, the only thing we could see as presented pictorially, was a group of jungle justice executors, heinously and reprehensibly smashing the heads of some promising young boys, placing tyres round their necks and going ahead to set them ablaze.
There is no doubt that Ugonna, Tekana and Chidiaka will curse the day they were born, considering their exit which DailyPost considers most painful. It was a painful death.
DailyPost like other media organizations, abhors in totality pilfering or any kind of societal crime. We have been in the vanguard of the campaign against crimes in Nigeria, especially as found amongst our young men and women. We are also not oblivious of the fact that “stealing is stealing”, no matter what was stolen, and whoever that is found guilty of such crime must be brought to book by the law.

However, the law says, “every criminal remains a suspect and innocent until proven guilty of the said crime. This is what the law says. It’s the law that guides us, hence we must all abide by it.

It is against this backdrop that DailyPost wishes to state that the human community is not a jungle; hence all the laws of that guide the society must be applied as against the animalistic justice of the jungle.
It is with this submission, that we advocate that those behind the gruesome murder of the 3 students of the University of Port Harcourt at Aluu community in Rivers State, deserve to face the wrath of the law.
It’s is totally unacceptable and completely out of the ordinary, for some people to have taken the laws into their hands in such a barbaric way. The question bothering us is, why will our country degenerate into such barbarity, brute and sadism? Why has it now become a norm in our country that when a crime is committed, the individuals become the police and the jurists themselves? Why have the streets and the market square become our law courts?
What we saw in the case of the three murdered students of the University of Port Harcourt, was a setup where some group of people organized themselves into Court officials, lawyers, judges and the police. They were clearly engaged in the most terrifying and horrible kind of investigation and apprehension which led to a hasty trial and the eventual execution of the poor students, and we ask again, how much is life worth in Nigeria?

You would like to take a second look at the picture, and the faces of those who gathered round the supposed criminals. To them, it was only a horror street theatre staged to get them entertained. No one seen in that picture was uncomfortable with the injustice of that moment. They were cool with their actions. We are sure that the footage, if there is any will explain better how the people might have celebrated their victory at the end. We ask again, how much is life worth in Nigeria?

We want to ask: Are punishments not meant to be reformative? We had thought that the essence of punishment was to ensure that there is a change in character or attitude, or a general way of life. If every punishment is done in the cruelest manner without the consideration that human beings can change, then we had better referred to ourselves as animals.

It is irrational, absurd and a parody of justice for anybody to punish, brutalize and or unlawfully take the life of another Nigerian.
In all earnest, the Aluu people have done what they felt was the best treatment criminals deserve, and proudly, they had syndicated the pictures around the country for people to celebrate their victory with them.

On the contrary, DailyPost would wish to appeal to the Rivers State government, and the government of Nigeria to bring the perpetrators of the act to book. We strongly believe that there is more to the murder of those young men than just phones and computers theft. The community leaders and those seen in the pictures, that have already gone viral on the internet clearly have some questions to answer, as they have little or nothing to prove that those they killed were the actual criminals.
Where are the stolen laptops and the phones? Where were they caught? Were they armed? Were the police contacted? Were they handed over to the police? Even if they carried out the act, were they given the opportunity to defend themselves? Those guys might even be guilty of the case and might have been killed innocently.
Our last questions; is the Aluu Community human community or Animal community? Is the community in tune with modernity? Are they still living in a no justice era?
From where did they get the authority to kill? These questions they must answer in no distant time as we believe that justice will take its full cause against these heartless set of animals.
We call on all well-meaning Nigerians that the time has come when we should all stand against all justices emanating from the jungle. We call on the students of the University of Port Harcourt to begin to ask questions, before they are all wiped out from the said community. We call on President Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan (GCFR) to give an immediate order for the arrest of those involved in the killing of the students. We also call on the Rivers State’s governor, Rotimi Amechi to swing into action and ensure that truth behind the murder of the students is unraveled. We cannot turn our country to a wildlife reserve where the ecosystem totally disfavors the lower animals. We cannot fold our hands, and seal our mouth seeing some lawless people taking over cities, towns, and communities.
It’s high time we stood against this senseless act. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

2015 presidency: Plot to stop North thickens

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, top political players and groups in the South-East, South-South and North-Central geopolitical zones have lambasted the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) over a recent comment on who takes the mantle of leadership in 2015.
National Publicity Secretary of the Northern apex political group, Anthony Sani, was recently quoted to have said that zoning has gone into oblivion in the country after electing president Goodluck Jonathan who’s a southerner in 2011.
However, all the groups and politicians have dismissed Sani’s comment, saying that it is uncalled for and unpatriotic.
Describing ACF’s assertion as whistle of the wind, top members of apex sociocultural organisation of the southeast, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have vowed that it is Igbo or nobody in 2015.
Some Igbo front-line leaders such as president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Ralph Uwechue, and the Owelle of Onitsha, Chief Chukwuwa Azikiwe-the first son of the first President of Nigeria, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu have insisted that in line with equity and fairness, zoning should be rotated among the six geopolitical zones and not between not and south only.
Uwechue recalled that in 2007, all the three organs of the Federal Government were headed by Northerners, who emerged on the basis of zoning along the lines of the six geopolitical zones and not between the North and South.
He maintained that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, Senate President David Mark and Justice Idris Kutigi, all Northerners, were spearheading both the executive, legislature and the judicial arms of government on the ground of zoning.
He said: “Nigerians, irrespective of their political associations, have accepted the six zonal arrangements and not the conflict-prone demarcation of the North and South.
“The problem we have, and it is important to take note of this, is that Nigeria is still not where it should be in terms of national integration. We have not arrived there. We are in the process.
“If we pretend that we have arrived, we will be like somebody moving into a house without a roof, thinking that the house is completed. Until the roof comes on the house, it cannot give you the needed protection. We still have sectional interests in this country,” Uwechue said.
Also reacting, Azikiwe insisted that a southeasterner should also be given the mandate to pilot the affairs of the country.
While recalling that his father, the late Nnamdi Azikiwe was a ceremonial President, Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi was an executive head of state only for six months, he made a clarion call to all Ndigbo to put all hands on deck in order to achieve the 2015 presidential ambition. “we must realise that this thing is got by give-and-take, negotiation and diplomacy. It is not by force.”
He said, “I think we should put our best foot forward; find those of our people that have good relations with the other zones; those who are trusted; listen to them in order to get Igbo president.
“And also, the timing should be right. We will try as much as possible to get it soonest. But let’s be careful so that we don’t antagonize some other zones.”
Speaking further, Azikiwe noted that: “Forty-two years after the Civil War, it is an insult for somebody to tell you that the Igbo cannot be president. If all these tribes can be president, who among them is more qualified than an Igbo man? We are the salt of this nation; we are the best thing that has happened to this nation.”
A former National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing, Mazi Bismark Orji, supported Azikiwe’s stand, stressing that, “This time around, we are very wise and we would not sing in discordant tunes again so that we don’t miss this opportunity.”
He debunked the recent media reports that the Igbos are not ready for their quest for 2015.
“That is just a figment of some people’s imagination. Whether they like it or not, we are more united now than ever ,” he said.
Joining the league, organizations in the South-South, viz. the South-South Peoples Assembly and the Ijaw National Congress, have faulted the ACF’s new position on zoning.
The National Secretary of the SSPA, Chief Anyakeme Whiskey, described the ACF position as both sham and criminal.
Whiskey said that the South-South would rule the nation for eight years despite the zoning hullabaloo.
He reminded the ACF on how they had enjoyed power for 38 year since the country’s freedom in 1960.
Whiskey said: “Chief Olusegun Obasanjo came in 1999; whether he performed or not, Nigerians gave him eight years. If the ugly arms of death did not claim the life of former President Yar’Adua, nobody would have stopped him from staying in office for eight years,”
However, the Ijaw National Congress (INC) has said that it was early to start talking about 2015 Presidency which is about 3 years from now.
The National Secretary of the group, Mr. Robinson Esite, said those talking about 2015 are not serious minded people. He said they wanted to distract the current administration.
He maintained that our leaders should confront the devastating flood and the Boko Haram insurgence which have claimed many lives instead of singing 2015 song.
He said, “Our position is that this is not the time to talk about 2015 election; it is too early
“At the appropriate time, it is only Nigerians who can decide on who would rule them, it is not the duty of individuals or a group of people to decide who would become president. Nigerians are yearning for dividends of democracy and nothing more.
Also, the President-General, Afonja Descendants Union in Ilorin, Alhaji Olola Kasumu has thrown his weight behind leaders of the South-East geopolitical zone for their quest to mount the nation’s throne of leadership in 2015.
He said: “Arewa is destroying the spirit of this country. The group is an empty organization, they have no chance again. I am a lover of unity. I do not want this country to break.

Drama in Imo state: Woman catches suspect who raped & robbed her inside bank

A suspected rapist and kidnapper has been spotted by one of his victims in the premises of a new generation bank on Douglas Road, Owerri, Imo State.
Eyewitness account revealed to LEADERSHIP WEEKEND that as soon as the woman identified her alleged abductor, she made straight for him as astonished customers in the bank looked on in utter surprise.
LEADERSHIP WEEKEND further gathered that with the help of the security operatives in the bank, the man was held until some military men on patrol in Owerri got to the bank.
The presence of the soldiers as the witness further revealed made the woman, who is said to be in her mid-thirties open up, revealing how she was kidnapped and raped by a gang led by the suspect.
The woman was said to have identified the man as the particular person, who raped her twice a day for the period of one week that she was held captive.
When the woman was asked how she knew the man was among the gang she claimed abused her, she was said to have told the crowd at the bank of a tattoo on the neck and lower waist of the man.
Subsequent upon her identification, which proved positive about the suspect, the man was said to have been bundled away from the bank along with the woman, who claimed that besides her being sexually abused by the man, her family equally paid a N10 million ransom.
Before the man was taken away from the bank, it was further gathered that the man’s bank account had about N75 million.
The state Police Public Relations officer, Vitalis Onugu, when contacted said he was yet to be briefed on the matter.

Climate Change: Lagos may vanish in 50 years – Experts

This sounds like a dooms day prediction. But it is serious! Experts say in 50 years to come, Lagos risks being washed away by tidal waves. It is the only Nigerian costal city that might go under if nothing serious is done to stop it.Climate Change and the poor environmental attitude of the residents are already assisting this prediction to come true.
Earlier, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) based in France, had, in a study entitled Ranking of the world’s cities most exposed to coastal flooding today and in the future, revealed that Lagos was at risk of being submerged in the next 50 years. Lagos was among cities in the developing world facing similar fate. Cotonou, Liberia and Abdijan in West Africa were in the number.
OECD said that “in the 20th century, sea level rose by an estimated 17 centimetres but conservative global mean projection for sea level rise between 1990 and 2080 ranges from 22-34 centimetres. Oceans which have been absorbing 80 per cent of the temperature increase attributable to global warming are expanding as ice sheets in the North and South poles melt. These events have led to a rise in sea levels and increasing flooding in coastal cities. The projected rise in sea levels could result in catastrophic flooding of coastal cities.”
A University of Lagos don, Dr Emmanuel Enyeribe Ege, said the prediction about Lagos and other cities re-echoed in Rotterdam in June this year at a programme entitled Urban Development Tools and Climate Change and its implication for the world. It was organised by the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. Dr Ege, who teaches in the Department of Geography said: “From what I observed, what they (in Europe) are doing regarding climate change and what we are doing here are poles apart. It is clear that we are too complacent with climate issues.
However, I commend the Lagos State government for taking the right steps in the right direction.” He regretted, however, that the populace is generally not aware of issues of climate change. Now the question is, what do Nigerians need to know and do to prevent calamity from befalling Lagos? Mr Abayomi Oyegoke, Chief Meteorologist at Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) Lagos, explained that climate change is critical in the life of Lagos. “Climate change means changes in various climatic conditions in different places around the world.
For example, the Little Dry Season we call August Break has been prolonged this year. It used to last for six weeks in the South west region of the country. But it has now lasted much longer. This is as a result of climate change; the phenomenon changes in weather conditions and times of their occurrence which hitherto were unknown.
“It increases the temperature of the air which causes global warming. This happens when a lot of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. It is the same carbon dioxide that plants in our environment consume. But unfortunately, we often ignorantly destroy these trees. People don’t know that trees support lives.
Humans make use of the oxygen plants release into the atmosphere while plants in return, consume the carbon dioxide we discharge. So the relationship between us and plants is a healthy, symbiotic one. But when we destroy these plants, we create problem for ourselves. Unfortunately, in Lagos no one cares about planting trees; existing ones are being cut down daily.
This action contributes largely to climate change because they help to alter the course of nature. Those who hack down trees do humanity a lot of harm.” But would it surprise anyone that only a handful of Lagos residents know a bit about climate change and how trees can save the city? Painfully, this ignorance doesn’t subtract from the growing fear that global warming, climate change and the city dwellers’ penchant for abuse of the environment bring. To underscore this, in the recent past, never-seen-before flooding, storms and ocean surges, have been commonplace.A few weeks back, for instance, the Atlantic Ocean roared like an angry gorilla and furiously attacked residents of Kuramo Beach in Lagos.
In one fell swoop, no fewer than 16 people were feared swept away. Last year alone recorded severe storms and unusually heavy rains which caused heavy flooding. The tragic disasters destroyed lives and property worth millions of naira, leaving many to rue the ruin they left behind. Dr Ege said one way to reduce this menace is to let “people know the importance of reducing their carbon production and input into the environment, for example, refuse dumping. People are still dumping refuse into water bodies and drainage channels.
These practices in one way or the other lead to the production of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other injurious gases to the environment. So residents destroy the city with the waste they generate at home and where they dump them. If we can control our waste and ensure that it is dumped indiscriminately, then we can save our environment. “When we burn our refuse, we cause a lot of dangerous gas to be released into the atmosphere. They get concentrated there. These gases make some parts of the atmosphere which are supposed to be permanently cold to become warm.
Not only that, some areas in the cold zones of the world which are supposed to be cold also become warmer because of this practice. What that means is that huge icebergs in those zones now melt.
Water released from those cold regions now drifts towards warmer regions and cause the ocean level to the rise above the normal.” The implication of this for Lagos, he said, is that “most parts of Lagos State below the sea level are affected. So if we have a sea surge and it is not controlled then we are in trouble.
There is much to fear as Lagos is one of the cities in West Africa adjudged vulnerable to ocean surge. So if our government does not listen and apply what the Rotterdam model says – find a way the excess can percolate or settle, clear the drainages of refuse, and erect a mechanism to wedge the surge, then we are in trouble. “The last ocean surge in Lagos which swept away some residents was an eye opener. The truth is that when there is a tilt in the climatic system, it can affect anywhere in the world. Unfortunately in our coastal areas, there are hardly any buffers. The trees that used to protect those areas are gradually being cut down. So, any settlement in those areas is at risk of being washed away by ocean surge.”
He commended Governor Fashola’s environmental crusade but insisted that “the state government still needs to build more recycling plants and ensure that there is a conscious way of harnessing waste. His tree planting campaign too needs to be re-invented. More and more people need to understand that they have a duty to protect the future of Lagos by caring for the environment.” He said Governor Fashola’s environmental drive was recognised in Rotterdam as he was honoured alongside a governor from Columbia.
Part of the letter announcing the award reads: “It is with great pleasure that we announce the 1st IHS Alumni International Award of Distinction 2012 which will be presented to Dr. Sergio Fajardo, former Mayor of Medellin, Columbia and the current Governor of Antioquia and His Excellency, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, the Governor of Lagos, Nigeria. “IHS salutes Dr. Fajardo and Governor Fashola for their leadership, dedication and tenacity in giving to the world, rich and powerful examples of what are possible when proper urban planning, development and management tools are maximised for the benefit of city dwellers and the rest of the nation.”

UK-based Nigerian doctor commits suicide after plan to marry two different women backfires

A cheating Nigerian-born GP who led a double life with two women for seven years and promised to marry both of them one month apart hanged himself when his secret was exposed, an inquest heard.
Dr Festus Ojagbemi, 49, known as ‘Wally’, who had a surgery in Strood, Kent, lived with long-term partner Jackie Hammond in the week and lover Bamidele Ayeni on weekends – for seven years.
He fathered a child with Miss Ayeni – a popular Nigerian singer known as Dele Achiever – and said he would wed them both, while racking up thousands of pounds worth of debt taking them on holidays.
But when the secret was discovered by Miss Hammond he stabbed himself twice in the chest at his surgery, St Mary’s Medical Centre, the inquest was told. But he survived that attempt on his life.
While recovering in hospital he told police and both women he was attacked by a stranger. But he eventually confessed the truth to officers – only to take his own life four days later on February 12.
Miss Hammond later found him at the detached house they shared in Hempstead, Kent. A note signed with his nickname was on the TV cabinet near where he was found in the conservatory.
The cost of leading the double life emerged after his death, the inquest in Maidstone, Kent, heard. Miss Hammond said a credit card firm phoned after he died, claiming he owed them £10,000.
She said: ‘I started phoning and everyone told me how much he owed them. By the time we got to the 10th or 11th, the bill was huge. We just couldn’t get our heads around it.
‘I work, I get paid, so we don’t talk about finances. If we go on holiday he would be the one that pays.’
The couple had planned their wedding for this May after almost 20 years together.
Miss Hammond said he killed himself because he felt guilty after the double life was uncovered, adding: ‘He just wanted me to notice he was hurting because of what he had done to me.’
Miss Ayeni did not appear at the inquest but the hearing was told of evidence she gave to police. She claimed Dr Ojagbemi proposed last October and that they were planning a wedding in April.
They had a child, he rented a flat for them, visited on weekends and they would talk six or seven times a day, she said.
Miss Ayeni, who sings Juju and pop music, said she knew about the other partner, but he told her he ‘did not love her any more’. She told officers: ‘I would call him “baby” because he was my baby. I would also call him my “husband”.
‘He’s intelligent, loving, caring, he buys me lots of things. Why would he do this to himself? Wally told me not to give anyone the news that we were getting married in April because everyone would go on about it.’
‘He’s intelligent, loving, caring, he buys me lots of things. Why would he do this to himself?’
The court heard how the doctor, who also had two other children to two other women, had been off sick from work since December 2011, suffering from high blood pressure and vertigo.
The inquest was also told he had called Miss Ayeni on the day he died to tell her he loved her – and even discussed a wedding photographer with Miss Hammond on the morning he killed himself.
Recording a verdict of suicide, assistant deputy coroner Gail Elliman, said: ‘I am satisfied Dr Ojagbemi took his own life. I won’t go into any speculation about the reasons for doing so.’
