Mr Bidemi Odukoya, the Shepherd of Iri Orun Parish of the CCC, Ogooluwa community, Akiode Ibogun, Ifo Local Government, Ogun State, has committed suicide after killing his wife during a late-night domestic dispute.

He reportedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a moving truck after killing his wife.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the incident occurred on Monday, August 31, 2026, at about 2am, and after killing his wife, the deceased pastor, a father of three boys, reportedly left for Coker junction, Ifo section of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, where he committed suicide.

Ifo section of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway is about 20 minutes’ drive from Akiode community

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that both the husband and the wife were buried beside their home on Monday evening.

Residents of Akiode Ibogun said Odukoya and his wife had lived in the community for about nine or 10 years and were generally regarded as friendly and peaceful couple.

‘This unfortunate incident is the first of its kind in this environment. It is a tragedy of monumental proportion that no one saw coming. It is something that you only come across in Nollywood films, those ones we watch on television. Nobody ever believes that such a sad incident could happen just at our backyard.

It is even more puzzling and very disturbing with the kind of personalities involved, I mean the Shepherd and his wife. Both of them were very jovial and respectful. They behaved so responsibly and greeted me cheerfully whenever they were passing by.

Since over nine or 10 years that they have been living with us, you don’t get to hear that the couple are troublesome or quarrelsome.

So, I find it difficult to believe that it is these same set of people that could be involved in such a brutal domestic fight that claimed their souls in a very disturbing manner, leaving everyone behind to wallow in wild bewilderment’ the Baale of the community, Chief Taiwo Akiode, said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
