Dele Moses, Ilorin
A middle-aged man has reportedly committed suicide in the Ansar Ul Islam area along Oloje-Ogidi road in Ilorin, Kwara state.
The man whose identity is yet to be ascertained was said to have committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree in the vicinity of his residence.
He was said to have done this by climbing on a drum to be able to tie his neck to the tree while he remained suspended on the tree after he kicked away the drum with his legs.
The reason the man decided to take his life is not yet known as he was said to look hale and hearty up till the last time he was seen by his neighbours before he committed suicide.
There are however speculations that the reasons might not be unconnected with the economic hardship which he was suspected to be undergoing in the recent time.
The suicide, it was gathered, left his family members, neighbours and friends in bewilderment because the deceased looked hale and hearty and they had no premonition that he was going to take his life.
His disturbed family members have however reportedly removed his corpse and buried it.
speaking on the development, the spokesman of the Kwara State Police Command, Okasanmi Ajayi, said the command is yet to be informed of the incident.
He promised a proper investigation to ascertain the facts of the development and unravel the details.
