A 35-year-old
motorcycle repairer, Kayode Onabamiro, has committed suicide over his wife’s
alleged infidelity.
The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered on Monday in Ijebu-Ode, southwest Nigeria
that Onabamiro left a suicide note in which he said he killed himself because
his wife was not faithful to him.
From
the suicide note, it was learnt that the deceased also killed himself because
of his huge debts as well as his inability to have savings.
Onabamiro,
a father of four and a native of Isoyin in Ijebu-North East Local Government
Area of the state, was said to have committed the act on Saturday night when
his wife and children were not around.
NAN
further learnt that the deceased, who resided at 122, Awokoya Street,
Ijebu-Ode, before committing suicide, had sent his son to get him a loaf of
bread.
It
was also gathered that when the son returned, the deceased asked him to give
him a pen and paper and thereafter sent the boy out again.
He
was said to have locked the door against himself and committed suicide.
On
the return of his wife, she was said to have tried to enter the house only to
discover that the door was bolted from behind.
The
wife, according to investigation, forced the door open and saw her husband’s
body dangling from a rope on his neck.
It
was at this point that the wife raised an alarm.
An
eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the family members of the
deceased wanted to lynch the wife when they discovered in the suicide note that
one of the reasons Onabamiro committed suicide was his wife’s alleged
infidelity.
The
eyewitness said the wife was able to escape and ran to Igbeba police station
for protection.
It
was also learnt that the wife, due to fear of being mobbed, refused to attend
the burial rites of her husband on Sunday.
DSP
Muyiwa Adejobi, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, confirmed the
incident in an interview with NAN.
Adejobi
said the command would work on the suicide note left behind by the deceased to
ascertain the cause of the incident.
The
spokesman promised that the command would ensure that justice prevailed in the
matter.

ReplyDeleteMy findings 4rm dz story was a man who sincerely loved his wife & had done so many things(sacrificed) just 2 preserve his wife. Which led 2 d debt he piled up. Bt d greatest mistake he made was 2 take his own life, leavin d wife behind 4 another man 2 marry. Datz shallow thinking, very poor.
ReplyDeleteProblem will never stop,so I advice pple 2 stop thinking about problem, rather think about solutions to problems. I think d man was buys thinking about is problem instead of him thinking about a better solution
