A young man identified as Stephen Chidubem has been confirmed dead after allegedly taking his own life at his residence on Abba Street, behind the Anglican Church in Saburi 2, Abuja.

This was made known by a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

Makama disclosed that Chidubem hung himself using a rope tied to a ceiling fan.

According to the report, emergency responders arrived at the scene and evacuated the body to Kubwa General Hospital.

He was confirmed dead by a medical doctor, and the corpse was subsequently deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for autopsy.

Makama said a suicide note recovered at the scene pointed to gambling addiction as the cause of the tragic act.

In the note, Chidubem apologized to those he owed and to those he believed were affected by his financial troubles.

The note read in part: “Sorry to everyone who cared, I can’t continue putting people in trouble because of my gambling addiction. Please forgive me Elvis, Paul, and all I’m owing. And you, Bishop Andy Ero, give the balance of ₦507,500 to Elvis or Paul.”

It was gathered that the deceased had been struggling with a severe gambling addiction that plunged him into debt and emotional distress.

You see gambling it's a NO NO for me...


Experience of others have taught me a lesson.

It happened in 2021. Went to betshop in Elelenwo River State to charge phone.

And I saw a man that just came back from work, I guess the guy is a teacher and was paid his salary in cash. I guess it was 47500, dude was just like let me just try with #500.

And na virtual, to cut long story dude dropped his phone with the bet boy because he accumulated debt to himself of 25100. I can't forget that day.

Oga was sweating and even closed to tears, me I no wait to hear final score, I had to leave the place because it was becoming tensed

Well, one thing must kill a man.
