Tuesday, October 08, 2024 - A father of nine identified simply as Charles, has committed suicide over an alleged marital dispute in the Jeddo community in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Charles allegedly
ended his life by ingesting a poisonous substance suspected to be sniper at
about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 7, 2024.
Charles, a resident of the Jeddo community, drank the lethal
substance at his home before proceeding to Ugbokodo, his in-laws’ residence,
where he passed away shortly after.
Sources said the deceased was a member of
the Jeddo Community Vigilance group, tasked with maintaining security in the
area.
Reports suggest that his
decision to take his own life may have been linked to personal issues,
including the unceremonious departure of his wife following a heated argument.
Despite efforts by Charles and mutual
friends to reconcile, his wife reportedly refused to return to the marriage.
The spokesperson of the State Police
Command, SP Bright Edafe, said he has not been officially informed of the case.
