Friday, November 6, 2026 - A man identified simply as Abiodun has died by suicide in the Idimu area of Lagos State, following an alleged disagreement with his lover over their relationship.
The incident occurred in the Ire Akari area of the community
on Saturday, October 31, after his longtime girlfriend reportedly told him she
was no longer interested in continuing their relationship.
It was gathered that Abiodun, said to be in his early 30s,
was arguing with the yet-to-be-identified woman when she announced her decision
to end the relationship.
Disturbed by the development, he reportedly drank the
contents of an insecticide he was holding in his hand.
A resident of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
said Abiodun was rushed to a hospital on Powerline Road, where he later died.
“He was having issues with his girlfriend, and it
later resulted in an argument on Saturday evening. She eventually told him that
she was no longer interested in the relationship and stepped out of the house.
By the time she returned, Abiodun had already consumed insecticide. He was
rushed to a hospital on Powerline Road, where he later died,” the resident said
The source added that Abiodun’s mother was immediately
alerted and made efforts to secure medical attention for him.
“His mother works at a supermarket in the area and tried all
she could to ensure that he was revived. She was alerted by neighbours who had
already rushed him to the hospital. She thereafter tried to raise money to pay
for the required medical expenses.
It was when she returned to the hospital with the
recommended drugs on Sunday morning that she was informed of his death,” the
source disclosed.
