Ex-Army Captain Commits Suicide In Calabar by olillywales(m): 7:35am On May 23, 2016 |
A retired army officer, Friday William, has reportedly hung himself to death in Calabar, Cross Rivers state. William, who hails from Mkpat Enin, Akwa Ibom State, was said to have allegedly tied a rope on a mango tree outside his apartment at 34, Edim Otop Street in the night of Tuesday while his family was asleep and hung himself, Vanguard gathered. Although the reason for his act is yet to be ascertained, sources alleged that the man who fathered eight children, may have been mentally challenged. According to a neighbour, Abasi Imoh, “The man had about three cars and got a lot of money from his retirement benefits two years ago and was living well which is the reason many people are surprised with his action. “He was not poor because he had three cars and had built a house in his village and was generally doing well that is why we were surprised with his action. “We woke up in the morning to behold the body dangling on the mango tree outside the compound and we do not know what was responsible for his action. “Before hanging himself, the retired captain reportedly sent a text message to his son, who lives in Port Harcourt at about 10pm, to condole with him over his death and advised him to be strong to take care of his siblings, but the son did not see the message until he got a call the next morning that his father had committed suicide and I feel he had tied the rope ready for the act before he sent the text,” Abasi added. Meanwhile, the remains of the retired captain of the Nigerian Army has been reportedly taken to his hometown. http://dailypost.ng/2016/05/19/retired-army-captain-hangs-himself-in-calabar/ 1 Share

...We gathered that Captain William had allegedly sent a text message to one of his sons who lives in Port Harcourt, at about 10pm, to condole with him over his own death and advised him to be strong to take care of his siblings. Why would he ask his son to be strong while he chickened out in d first place? Too sad though! Was he suffering from PTSD? 8 Likes 1 Share |

PTSD is a serious disorder and I doubt Nigeria does any form of rehabilitation for these men. Any soldier fighting for Nigeria needs to have a word with himself. Rip. 9 Likes 1 Share |

cally45: Possibly PTSD. It gets to a point you've seen enough and the memories haunt you down. Sadly, we hardly take this illness serious in this clime because it's not physical. 2 Likes |

But why the son no see the text on time? Were did he keep his phone? Was he at the club or ? I keep my phone on 24 hours everyday because of emergency. If the son has seen the message immediately he sent it believe me he would not have died. 1 Like |

They might not be paying his pension for months, for whatever reason there is no justification for committing suicide |

Reading the story above, proper investigation has to carried out to establish the truth. This looks so much like murder case. RIP, CAPTAIN. |
