In response to a question about the status of the investigation, Detective Inspector Jonny Dyer of Great Manchester Police disclosed last Friday that the British Police were reviewing the case of the late Alanis Ogundipe, who took her life after allegedly being blackmailed by her boyfriend, Ryan Leggetts.
Dyer, who is currently in charge of the case, stated that the police were in contact with the Ogundipe family.
According to reports, Alanis, 26, jumped into a moving train on May 29 at a Manchester train station after Leggetts allegedly broke into her phone, copied her documents, and threatened to reveal her personal information to the public.
Oladapo said that because he did not endorse the relationship, Alanis had to call her mother, Josephine, to inform her of the issue she had with Ryan.
He said, “The mother drove to meet her in Manchester on the evening of May 28, where she heard her daughter’s discussion with Ryan as he was getting her to agree with his terms. On May 29, Alanis said she was scared that she would lose her social group and then reluctantly agreed to Ryan’s payment terms. She committed suicide four hours later.”
Oladapo claimed that, until her daughter's death, he was unaware of what had happened. Additionally, he said that Leggetts supplied a series of details following the incident that showed how he gained access to her phone without a password.
But after providing the information to the Great Manchester Police, the grieving parent voiced concerns about their response.
He stated that his wife, who witnessed the conversation, had not been invited, and neither was Leggetts detained, adding that the police only based their findings on Leggetts’ story.
