The remains of a retired captain of the
Nigerian Army, Friday William, found
dangling on a mango tree outside his
apartment in Calabar, have been taken to
his hometown in Mkpat Enin, Akwa Ibom
State.
The father of eight, according to a
neighbour, Abasi Imoh, allegedly tied a rope
on the mango tree outside his apartment at
34, Edim Otop Street in the night while his
family was asleep and hung himself for a
reason yet to be ascertained.
“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,” Abasi
stated.
The neighbour said before hanging himself,
that 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.
“He sent the text to his first son at about 10
pm to condole with him over his own
death, 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 said 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.

sometimes, having money to spend and materials may not bring the happiness one deserves or expects.

Could this because of the economy situation because I wonder how a lot of people will cope and be able to sustain their families. Federal gov should Pls do something abt the current situation. Rip old soldier

If a man complains, he will be looked upon as a sissy,
Only God knows what that man went through.
Probably post traumatic stress disorder.

a condition of persistent mental and emotional stress occurring as a result of injury or severe psychological shock, typically involving disturbance of sleep and constant vivid recall of the experience, with dulled responses to others and to the outside world.

RIP ,but suicide should never be an option.

R.I.P

The frustration is much and Buhari is really trying,expect more of that if this dullard doesn't take a drastic measures to curb this dwindling Economy.

Frustration everywhere, change has so many meanings.
