GRADUATE AWAITING NYSC CALL-UP COMMITS SUICIDE IN ABA.

Tragedy struck in Umuoba village, Ovom, Obingwa Area
council in Abia State after a graduate of Abia State
Polytechnic, awaiting the National Youth Service
Corps, NYSC, call up, committed suicide in his family
house.
Vanguard reports that the deceased, whose name is yet
unknown, allegedly hung himself with a rope on Sunday
after attending a mass service in one of the Catholic
churches in the area.
A resident of the area while reacting to the incident
observed that the deceased had a good job and
wondered why he had to commit suicide.
“He returned from church on Sunday and nobody
suspected that such a thing was going to happen. It
was around 5pm that the bad news broke.
“The mother and the dad we learnt are all dead.
‘’I think he is the breadwinner of the family. It is very
unfortunate. We learnt that he will be among the people
that will be going for NYSC soon because he schooled
in Abia poly,” he said.
According to the report, residents of the area disclosed
that the incident was a sacrilege and as such a ritual
must be performed before his body could be touched
and buried.
“So, it was on Monday that they (villagers) after
performing the rituals took away his corpse from the
room where it was lying,” they said.
The incident was confirmed by the Abia State Police
Commissioner, CP Habila Joshak.
