A middle-aged man identified as Jeremiah Chibueze Ugwuoke from Owere Ibagwa-Ani, Nsukka local government killed himself by hanging on top of a tree for an undisclosed hardship.
In a written suicide note he dropped before carrying out the sacrilegious act, Ugwuoke wrote thus;
“My mother remains the most wonderful woman on earth mom I will miss you, people, I will die in my compound and pls you people should bury me in the compound.”
A source who spoke to our reporter explained that “this young man has been telling me that things are very hard for him. I kept on encouraging him to keep on keeping but I did not know that he would end up like this.”
Another source told our reporter that “according to a reliable source he has been complaining of hardship and that the world means nothing to him anymore, but nobody took him serious till he committed suicide.
Some think that a certain deity is after him, while some think that he is mentally unstable.
According to our investigation, Ugwuoke who was in his early thirties has been living a solitary life for some time before the ugly incident this morning.
Further checks revealed that the victim was a graduate who finished his NYSC in 2021 before joining MTN Nigeria as a Marketer.
A villager who spoke to our reporter said that ” it was very early this morning when people came out and saw the late Chibueze hanging on top of a tree near their compound.”
In the meantime, condemnations have trailed the alleged sacrilegious act.
One of the villagers said that suicide is never a solution to difficulties. He should have told a friend about his problems.
When contacted on phone, the Police Public Relations Officer Enugu stated, Mr Daniel Ndukwe could not pick up his call.
However, a senior police officer at Nsukka Divisional headquarters who spoke to our reporter said the incident is still being investigated.
