Can a man die for love? If your answer is in the negative, a man has proved you wrong. Nnamdi Odoegbu, a resident in Lugbe,a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory believes no price is too much to pay for love. Penultimate Thursday, Nnamdi demonstrated this. He took his life after his lover, one Jumai reportedly decided to jilt him. Neighbours woke up to find thelifeless body of Nnamdi,aka Iron Iron hanging from a rope.

An eye witness told Daily Sun that the deceased decided to end his life since he was unable to effect a change in the attitude of his lover, Jumai. Nnamdi had reportedly accused Jumai of frequenting night clubs, an allegation which forced her to end the love affair.
Unable to bear the separation, the late Odoegbu was said to have resorted to always threatening to commit suicide if he was unable to bend Jumai’s mind. Not even the intervention by some of his family members and friends could help the situation, it was further learnt.
Police in Abuja confirmed the story to Daily Sun and said they got involved when Jumai reported a threat to her own life by the deceased.

“Quite naturally, the deceased was arrested and later detained and released to go and settle his crisis,” Police said.

But the deceased was said to have gone to the extent of physically assaulting his lover after the intervention of the Police. Apparently frustrated by Jumai’s unyielding attitude, the deceased was said to have confided in his friend called Peter that he was going home.
Unknown to Peter, the deceased “went home” the next day. Authorities at the National Hospital were said to have pronounced Odoegbu dead.

Police told Daily Sun that Odoegbu has since been buried in his home town, Okpuje in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu state.

He went to beat her after she reported that he assaulted her to the police?, yes he seem jilted. Suicide is such a serious act becaue there is no undoing it. He should have had someone there because he obviously was not thinking right. When its love its hard to think straight. The guy sounds like he was controlling, most guys would not go to that sort of extreme like he did. Hope he rests in peace

I don't know the level of truth in this, but I can't really say that love can fail. For me, true love always wins!

@poka borrowing your words.Only fools kill themselves for love that doesn't even exist.Suicide is a sin.So saying he's at peace is just deceiving yourself.What did his death prove.The world didn't even stop for a second when he died and it'll never.I hate weakminded pple with a passion.They remind me of me at my early time.
