OSOGBO— RESIDENTS of Oke-Ayepe, Onward Estate in Osogbo Local Government Area of Osun State were, yesterday, thrown into mourning when a 75-year-old grandfather, Pa Adisa Hassan, allegedly committed suicide in the storeroom of his house.
The deceased popularly known as Baba Tawa, who operated three buses for his inter-city transport business was said to have hanged himself around 5.00a.m. after officers of the Vehicle Inspection Officials (VIO) seized two of his three buses.
Eye-witness accounts revealed that Pa Hassan woke up alongside his family members around 5.00a.m. to observe their usual morning prayer (Subri) but changed his mind on his way to the mosque situated opposite his house and went into his store room and took his life.
When journalists visited the scene of the incident, yesterday, family members and residents of the area were seen wailing even as some of his associates were discussing the mystery surrounding the tragedy.
Also, a team of officers from the Disaster and Emergency Management Unit of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was drafted to the scene to maintain order.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of NSCDC, Mr. Ayo Olowe, revealed that a resident of the area had hinted officers at the command, which is a stone-throw from the residence of Pa Hassan before a team of officers was drafted to the area.
At press time, Hassan’s corpse was still dangling from the noose as no one was allowed to enter into the room.

Shameless man

Mtcheeeew!why didn't he commit suicide @age 25? Wat a waste!

.

Eyaaa. Vehicle inspection officers don kill dis man

shame on u nlders who do not respect the dead, is committing suicide an enjoyable thing....... the old man must have been traumatized to the extend of taking his life in that painful way. instead of ask why his bus was seized, una dey talk trash. just think, in a more advanced countries, what are the questions they will ask, and what step would they have taken after such incident occur.

When will people learn that Suicide is only a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Only cowards commits suicide. R I P oldman.

We are blaming the man for taking his life. That's not the solution...

With this your shameless English.

How did he get to 75. Faint hearted not worthy of my attention.

What a pity, a real pity, for he has lost out in this world and in the hereafter.
Suicide is forbidden and a very big crime in Islam, he would be buried only as an ordinary person but not a Muslim, as no prayers would also be offered over him.

I pity also his family for the grief and shame he had brought onto them.
Above all, I sympathise with him for the trauma that must have driven him into this dastardly act, especially at the very twilight of his life, aged 75 yrs.

May Allah continue to give us the fortitude to endure all the trials and tribulations of this life, no matter how grave and to maintain our faith in Him throughout. Ameen.

At 75?? What took him so long!??

This society is too tough and demanding. It's one economic pressure everywhere you go in Nigeria.

Guess we need to hear the other side of the story from VIO to comment any further.

Not a nice thing to say.

The kids were all grown and comfortable,how come none of them offered to help out the old man? why would he take a loan if he's kids were well off according to the report?

E go better.

It's a sign of serious problem in the country.

Before in nigeria committing suicide was totally out of options.
