Shocking !!! Civil Service Director commits suicide in Lagos

The Director in Lagos State Ministry of Youths, Oludare Buraimoh, has committed suicide by hanging in his room.

The man, who lives at Unity Estate, Phase II, Gbonagun, Abeokuta, Ogun State, took his life at about 4pm on Monday according to his son after attending to him.

Reports revealed that many sympathisers, who thronged into his compound spoke in silent tones about the ugly incident.

The son told media sources that the incident happened around 4pm after his father gave him a drug to treat malaria.
He said: “We were both at home; he came to give me a drug and left me thinking he was going to retire to his room. But when I did not hear his voice I called him, but no response came.
“I, thereafter, went to his room only to find him hanging on the ceiling with a traditional Aso Oke tied to his neck and a stool with which he committed the suicide.
“I then alerted the neighbours, who in turn, told me to alert the police, which I did.”

The deceased's wife did not believe her husband could commit such abominable act
She said: “I don’t know what came over him, it is inexplicable.

“We have been surviving through the thick and thin and now that we ought to sit down and enjoy after all the years of toiling, he decided to take his life.
“He did not show any sign of depression at the time he committed suicide.
“He was in high spirit, what led him to this remained a riddle.”

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at General Hospital, Abeokuta, upon police clearance.

The Deputy Superintendent of Police at Obantoko police station, Rasheed Olaleye, where the incident was reported
 confirmed the incident but declined to give further comments, saying that the DPO would be in the best position to handle the case.
