A
final-year law student of the University of Benin, (UNIBEN),
identified as Daniel Iyoha, has allegedly committed suicide in Benin
City last weekend.
The 27-year old student was said to have hanged himself in a
room at his family residence at No. 17, Obamwonyi Street, Off Universal Road,
Benin City.
Residents of the area described the deceased as easy-going and
devoted Catholic who hardly missed morning mass.
Sources in the area alleged that on that fateful day, the
deceased, after returning from morning mass, washed his clothes, tidied his
room and remained at home till dusk when he took his own life.
They
however described his stay at home that day as unusual of him.
Not even
his sister who was reading in another room, suspected what was happening until
their mother returned home and evidently anxious to find out the whereabouts of
Daniel, forcefully opened the door to the room and saw the lifeless body of her
son hanging from the ceiling.
It was gathered that the deceased committed the act when his
mother left the compound to see a neighbour. He reportedly tied himself to a
ceiling fan with a wrapper in his room after shutting the door behind him.
The late Daniel who was described as a very busy person by his
neighbours, was said to have combined his academic work with sales of auto
mobile spear parts at his shop at Uwelu, Benin City.
