In Ogun state, one Adebayo Busayo has reportedly taken his own life over purported unresolved challenges of life.
The incident happened at Stanley Street Ipamaki Ibafo area of the state at about 6:00 pm on Sunday.
It was gathered that the deceased had opened up to his sister about his clinical depression but she treated his disclosure with scant regard.
“He was always sad and there were days I tried to ask what happened to him but he never spoke up. His face was always looking worried, tired, and depressed. He was such a nice man and I did not expect him to do something like that to himself.
Everyone is going through their phases in life but only if I could turn back the hands of time, I would have advised him to speak up instead of holding the pains and worries to himself. I guess the suicide is a result of keeping too much inside. May his soul rest in gentle and perfect peace.” Punch quoted a source familiar with the incident as saying.
Another eyewitness simply identified as Bola said he committed suicide soon after starting work at a Chinese company. She also claimed that a bottle of Sniper was discovered next to him when he died.
She said “The deceased was said to have confided in one of his sisters in whose apartment his lifeless body was found that he was fed up with life. The sister was said to have taken the statement with a pinch of salt because it was made shortly before he secured a job at a Chinese company in the area. I wish he had spoken up earlier. It would have been better and I am sure he would not have killed himself. I wish his soul gentle and perfect peace.”
The state command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident, adding that the corpse would be taken to Sagamu General Hospital for a medical examination.
