Opalola said Ifeoluwa mentioned to her that she was in Aramokoko and that it would be difficult for her to get transportation to Osogbo. SP Opalola said she then instructed some personnel to go and get her from where she was. 

”It was when they picked her they saw she was behaving funny. They asked her what happened. She confessed that she taken a poisonous substance before she left Ekiti. 

We rushed her to WesleyGate hospital. They tried all they could so that she can vomit all the substance. They later discovered that it had been long that she took it and it had destroyed her internal organs. That was how she d!ed”Opalola said

Reports claim Ifeoluwa set Bolu on fire after she found out he welcomed a child with another woman. Their marriage was barely a year old.
