Before his death, the deceased had sent an emotional message to his mother on why he decided to commit suicide.
“You are the best mother ever, in this world. Am sorry for disappointing you. Please,” he said in the message to his mother. The reason for his action remained unknown.
“It’s so sad, this guy is my colleague. He was lucky to graduate and had also completed his National Youths Service Corps. Some people are still in school finding how to graduate but he was even fortunate,” a source lamented.
