The Medical Director of City Convalescent Clinic, Mr. Okereke committed suicide 2days ago at his residence, 13, Aliu Street, Kosofe by Ile-Iwe Bus-stop, Ketu, western Nigeria.
The body of the deceased was found by his wife dangling from the ceiling fan in one of the rooms of their two-storey building, which also houses a clinic. The reason why he took his life could not be ascertained as he did not leave any suicide note behind.
According to a neighbour, they woke up this morning and heard people wailing from the clinic and when they got there the wife of the deceased, who wept uncontrollably, narrated how she discovered the lifeless body of her late husband hanging from the ceiling this morning.
“The wife of the deceased is yet to come to terms with the reality that her husband is no more. From what she said, her late husband left her in their room. And after waiting for a while, she decided to look for her husband only for her to find the lifeless body hanging from a ceiling fan in an adjoining room,” the neighbour said.
Neighbours described the deceased as an easy going man who was always ready to treat ailing patients that come to the hospital. Most of them are still in shock as to why he committed suicide.
According to reports, the deceased was married to his first wife for 10 years without her bearing him a child and had to marry the present wife who bore him the two kids he left behind.
Attempts to speak with the Divisional Police Officer the Alapere Police Station proved abortive as correspondent was directed to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ngozi Braide.
When Braide was contacted, she said she is yet to be briefed about what happened.
