There was confusion at Oke Onitea area of
Osogbo, Osun State, on Tuesday, following the
discovery of the remains of a 27-years-old man,
Adekola Busari, who had hung himself.
Our Correspondent gathered that Busari, was
indebted to a micro finance bank, but his wife
had assisted in repaying the loan, remaining
just N18,000 to balance up.
Although things were said to be down for the
man, but it was not certain if the debt was the
reason he had killed himself.
The deceased’s wife, Bidemi, was said to have
discovered the corpse of her husband dangling
inside their sitting room when she went to
urinate early in the morning.
Amidst wailing, the widow said her husband did
not show any sign that he would kill himself.
She said, ” My husband went out to watch a
football match last night and stayed till 11pm
and when he came back home, he ate, we
chatted, prayed together and he went to bed
without any sign.
“Though he is financially indebted, I have been
paying the debt for the loan he took from a
micro finance bank. So I don’t understand why
he hung himself.
“I woke up to urinate and discovered that the
cloth I used to cover our two year-old child was
missing, only to find out that it was the cloth my
husband used to hang himself.”
The Divisional Officer of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps, in Olorunda Local
Government Area, Mr. Babatunde Ojeniyi,
confirmed the incident to our correspondent on
the telephone.
He said, ” We have informed the Water and
Environmental Department at the Local
Government Area, whose responsibility it is to
remove the corpse. But we were told that
certain traditional rites would have to be
performed before the body would be lowered.”

What a waste. When all the big people whose names were published in the newspapers recently as loan defaulters have not committed suicide.

Bankers and loans worst than cancer
