Man Commits Suicide On Arrival Of Baby Number 3




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

Neighbours 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.
