Arobo Precious, a 28-year-old final-year student at Ondo state-owned Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), Ondo state, reportedly committed suicide.
Arobo was reportedly discovered dead at 9 p.m. in a bush near his Owo town home.
According to sources, the HND 11 student published a video on social media prior to his death, indicating that he was experiencing emotional agony, which is thought to be related to a failed romantic relationship.
The caption read, “Eniayewu Opeyemi was the one who got me into this. People say there is still life out there, but to me, there is nothing anymore.”
According to a family source, Arobo, who he described as a “good person”, has been buried, and his parents are distraught over his demise.
When contacted, state police spokeswoman Ayanlade Olayinka verified the horrible occurrence.
Olayinka said, “Yes, I can confirm to you that a case of suicide was reported at about 2200 hrs on the 18th of June, 2025, at the B Division police station in Owo.
”Upon the receipt of the information, the DPO team of detectives went to the scene of the said incident, where the lifeless body of a young man of about 27 years was found with a rope believed to have been used in the commission of suicide on his neck.
He added that ”the body was subsequently removed and deposited at the FMC mortuary for preservation and autopsy.”
![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-450x300.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
