A
60-year-old man at Uwheru community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of
Delta State, has committed suicide over his inability to feed and provide for
his immediate family.
The
victim, Okporo Arigo, was said to have hung himself on a tree and left a note,
citing his inability to take care of his ailing wife and children as the reason
for his action.
The
lifeless body of the victim, whose younger brother is a serving councillor at
the Ughelli North legislative arm, was discovered in the bush with the suicide
note nearby.
A
member of the community executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity
yesterday, said: “He (Arigo) claimed to have embarked on the act to put a stop
on his inability to take care of his immediate family after his younger
brother, who is a serving councillor, abandoned him to his fate.”
