It is understood that the deceased was involved in managing a thrift business prior to his untimely death, sparking speculations that it might have driven him to take such drastic action.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to The Nation, Bayo allegedly took his own life by ingesting Sniper, a well-known insecticide. Further information revealed that he hailed from Ogori in Ogori-Magongo area of Kogi Central, and had graduated from Kogi State Polytechnic approximately two years ago.
