A boy identified as Prince Chigozie, 19, has reportedly committed suicide in Anambra State, because he was denied access to banana by one of his family members.

The incident took place in Mmakwum village, Obosi in the Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.

According to Punch Metro, Chigozie hanged himself in his room.

A source in the community who begged not to be named for fear of victimisation told our correspondent that Chigozie was found hanging in his room by his father.

He said, “Though no suicide note was found around him about his death; we suspect he killed himself because he was denied of some bananas by one of his relations, whom, I wouldn’t want to mention here

“I saw him fuming in the morning hours. When I approached him, he said a relation of his had been denying him many things because of his unemployed state.

“I told him to take it easy, but he kept fuming and threatening. Shortly after that, I heard that he had committed suicide.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Haruna confirmed the story to our correspondent.

He said, “One Uche Gbughemobi of Mmakwum village Obosi reported at Obosi Police Division how he found his son dead in his room. The scene was visited and the victim was taken to Crown Hospital Obosi where he was confirmed dead by a medical doctor.”

He said the case was being investigated to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Shut the hell up! Is frustration from prolonged unemployment restricted to any tribe or race for that matter?

Killing himself doesn't in any way solve the problem. He actually created more problem for himself and family. Cos he will answer the creator why he took the life he can't give.

Shut the hell down

Kind of lie is this. They should better say what kill the poor kid.

But why chose death over life even when you can have many things later in life?

Sometimes you read some news and you don't know what to type.

This is one.

To me he's not mentally stable

Na dem dem

Suicide is applicable to a particular tribe?

it's bad omen for fools to become ftc

It wasn't the banana joor...
He was frustrated cos of his unemployed situation ,the banana must have been the tilting fruit,no pun intended.

Buhari why!

Nawao

He didn't commit suicide because of banana... he committed suicide because of depression

He is not man enough. What prevents him from buying his own banana.

Mr Fukushima you’re new employment age is 19 and at 19 he’s already frustrated like Mr kanu

Igbo AMA..
Ordinary ogede

This id beyond banana.
They must have been denying him some other necessities too.
But is any of the things they are denying him of worth this suicide?



In other news:
I think our neighbours shouting "marginalization" should take a cue from this. If they think they are being denied of some things, mass suicide is an option. We won't miss them!!!

Lairs..Those are not Igbo names.
