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.

Probably PTDS. I hate suicide. It doesn't solve anything rather it brings a lot of pain and grief to the living.

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.

This issue of PTSD I remember a conference where I raised it up, the then brigade commander of 342 artillery obinze M.Alkali bluntly disagreed that his men don't experienced that, as they were highly trained and are prepared to die anytime.

The man was doing well so definitely poverty is ruled out as a reason.
Re: Ex-Army Captain Commits Suicide In Calabar by winj: 11:42am On May 23, 2016
he must have been mentally challenged to have 8 children in a poverty stricken country like Nigeria.
Those kids will now suffer as a result of lack of family planning

The bastard left 8 dependants for other people and the country to look after.

Abeg, Pat GEJ has already left Aso Rock jor!

If it was then, the man would have killed himself instead of committing suicide.
Maybe the comic relief from Pat would have made him to laugh and forget suicide.

RIP Capitano. embarassed

I hope you did not skip this part while reading.....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.

What's the use of 3cars when you cannot fuel them? And you expect the money paid to him 2years ago to still be intact?
