Residents of NEPA Phase I in Ijagemo, Iba Local Development Area, Ojo Local
Government, Lagos state were stunned in the early hours of Sunday October 11,
when they woke up to see the lifeless body of a middle aged man dangling from
the ceiling of his one-roomed apartment.
The deceased
simply identified as “Ada’s father” is believed to be an Ibo man from South
east Nigeria. His form of business is not yet known but residents believed he
was a trader.-Naij

revealed to our reporter that though the deceased did not leave a suicide note,
it was believed he felt dejected when the news reached him that his wife gave
birth to a third baby. Obviously because of the hard economic situation,
instead of rejoicing, the deceased became despondent.
It was gathered
his wife travelled and returned to Ijagemo, only to meet her husband’s
body hanged in the ceiling of their room. The police from Isheri Oshun division
visited the scene today October 12.
There was a mild
drama as to what should be done to the corpse when a traditional
religionist said they must perform certain rites but his family claimed they
usually throw away such corpse. However, neighbours were apprehensive that they
do not throw it in a nearby bush where it could constitute health hazards to
them.
