A married church leader and award winning pharmacist, Paul Olafare, allegedly committed suicide yesterday April 12th at his home in Lagos. He was found dead by his wife. According to multiple sources, Paul, a father of two, had been under a lot of pressure following a huge unpaid loan he collected from some people to set up his own pharmacy. His dream of setting up his own pharmacy failed leading to huge financial indebtedness. This allegedly led to chronic depression.

Paul was awarded the Lagos State Pharmacist of the Year 2013 and was reported to have been an active member of his church where he mentored the youth group. According to a friend close to the situation, Paul had allegedly hinted to his wife that he would take his life if things didn't change for him. He also recently attempted to jump into the lagoon but was stopped by his wife.

His wife said she sound him writhing in pain yesterday morning as she was prepared for church and found that he'd drank poison. He later died.

Though he'd been allegedly battling with depression for a while, his family didn't believe he'd committed suicide and lodged a murder charge against the man's wife who is now being questioned by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti.

He was a graduate of Medicine from the College of Medicine University of Lagos.

Meanwhile family and friends have taken to his Facebook wall to express their sadness over his death





However he is a graduate of the faculty of Pharmacy, Medilag campus UNILAG, and not College of Medicine..
May he RIP!

Death where is thy sting..
Grave where is thy victory..

I hate to hear people committing/contemplating suicide cos of what they're going through.. and he's a believer of christ for that matter.. how can we pray for his soul to dwell in peace now?.. he thought about the debt but forgot his beloved family..

God please watch over his family.

Graduate of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, UniLag R.I.P.
