ABA—A graduate of Abia State Polytechnic, Aba,
waiting for the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC,
call up, has allegedly committed suicide by hanging
himself with a rope in his family house.
Vanguard gathered that the man whose name is yet to
be ascertained at press time, allegedly killed himself on
Sunday after attending a mass service in one of the
Catholic churches in the area.
A resident of Umuobe village, Ovom, Obingwa council
area, where the incident took place, told Vanguard that
the deceased had a good job, wondering why he had to
take his life.
“He returned from church on Sunday and nobody
suspected that such a thing was going to happen. It
was around 5pm that the bad news broke.
The mother and the dad we learnt are all dead.
‘’I think he is the breadwinner of the family. It is very
unfortunate. We learnt that he will be among the people
that will be going for NYSC soon because he schooled in
Abia poly,” he said.
A cross section of sympathizers who thronged the area,
told Vanguard that the incident was a sacrilege which
made it compulsory for a ritual to be performed before
his body could be touched and buried.
“So, it was on Monday that they (villagers) after
performing the rituals took away his corpse from the
room where it was lying,” they said.
When contacted, the Abia State Police Commissioner, CP
Habila Joshak, confirmed the incident.
