Tobechukwu Okeke’s body was found on Sunday morning
dangling from a rope in his room at Odenigwe, a community in Nsukka, Enugu
State.
A neighbour said the deceased
left a note behind where he apologised to his family. The neighbour, who did not want to be named, quoted
the note as stating:
“Mother, Father, brother, I’m sorry. Ify, may your
children never suffer. Uncle Mathias, you gave me all. I am sorry. Death calls.
Linguistic department, I am sorry. Okeke Tobechukwu S. 2012/185649.”
One of the deceased’s colleagues, who also did not
want to be named, said he was given an electrical wiring job to do at the
Department of Linguistics in the university, because of his expertise in
electrical works.
“I saw him this (Sunday) morning, he seemed to have
a problem which he needed money to solve,” the colleague added.
Mrs. Uju Umo, the university’s Dean of Student Affairs,
confirmed the incident. She said “I
travelled for a burial last weekend and yesterday I got a text message saying a
student had committed suicide, I was told he left a suicide note apologising to
his fellow gamblers.”
Chukwu Emmanuel, the university’s Student Union
President, also confirmed the incident, and said the matter was being
investigated. “There’s no concrete details for now,” he added.
However, the general concesus from people close to the deceased is that he committed
suicide because "he was owing too much money!”
This
humble reporters summation is, are you sure Nwachuku Daniel Ikechuku is truely Tobechukwu
Okeke’s friend? I'm yet to understand
how he could find a loved one dangling on a rope and his first port of call is
not how to bring him down and try to resuscitate him but to post his lifeless
body on facebook.
Just
my 2cents.
