Tragedy: Ugochukwu – 23 Year Old Admission Seeker Commits Suicide (see Photo) by JoelXclusive: 9:46am On Aug 17, 2015
On Sunday a 23-year-old, identified only as
Ugochukwu, was found hanging in his apartment in
Festac. It was gathered that on Sunday at about
12pm, Ugochukwu’s mother, identified only as Ngozi,
and his two siblings came back from church to find
him hanging in the sitting room, dead.
The family members were said to have raised the
alarm which brought neighbours to the scene, as
everyone was taken aback at the sight of
Ugochukwu’s dangling body.
The 23-year-old reportedly used a rope to hang
himself from a ceiling fan.
The matter was said to have been reported at the
FESTAC Police Division, and the officers reportedly
came to remove the corpse.
A police source said that Ugochukwu’s relations said
the deceased did not give any clue as to why he
committed suicide.
He said:
Another resident in the area, who spoke on condition
of anonymity, said the corpse had been taken to the
mortuary by the police.
She said:
One of Ugochukwu’s neighbours, Oluja, said:
“Nobody can say why he committed suicide.
But two Sundays ago, they caught him mixing
cement to drink. The family members had
actually gone to church, and he had stayed
behind. It was a nieghbour who caught him
and alerted the family members. 
“But all efforts made to find out from him,
what went wrong reportedly proved abortive,
as he refused to tell anyone anything,
including his mother.
This morning, the family members went to
church again, and Ugochukwu decided to stay
back. Nobody suspected anything. It was
when the family members came back that
they found his corpse.” 
“Ugochukwu’s father’s whereabouts are
unknown, but the boy has a younger brother
and an elder sister. 
“The corpse has been taken to the mortuary.
Since he finished secondary school, he had
not been able to secure admission. He took
the UTME again this year. 
“Everyone knows him as someone who did
not talk too much. But no one knew exactly
why he committed suicide. He was not
working. He was usually at home. They were
staying in a room and parlour. They are an
average family.” 
“I am shocked that Ugochukwu has passed
on. I just returned from my church, only to
learn that Ugochukwu was found hanging in
his apartment. 
“It was the policemen from FESTAC that took
his body away. Everyone in the area is still in
shock. 
“I know that he had been worried about his
admission to the university. 
“He had tried several schools, but never
made it. Also, he was having a financial
problem. Maybe, it is the sum of these
worries that made him commit suicide. He
was a member of the Jehovah’s witness

So sad.
He was depressed but he should have opened up to his mum or church members.
